Ellie Goldstein Joins Strictly Come Dancing – A Win for Inclusion and Representation

The dance floor just got a little brighter! Strictly Come Dancing has announced that Ellie Goldstein, the trailblazing model and advocate, will be stepping into the spotlight for the new series. Ellie, who has Down’s syndrome, is no stranger to breaking barriers. She’s graced the cover of Vogue, fronted major campaigns, and inspired countless people along the way. Now, she’s bringing that same energy and determination to one of the UK’s most beloved shows.

This is a huge moment not only for television but for the disability community. Representation matters, and seeing Ellie twirl across the ballroom sends a powerful message: disability is not a barrier to dreams, talent, or joy. Strictly is a show that unites generations and households, and having Ellie on that stage will spark conversations, challenge perceptions, and celebrate the beauty of diversity.

At Tourism For All, we believe that travel, leisure, and experiences (just like dance) should be for everyone. Ellie’s presence on Strictly reminds us that accessibility and inclusion enrich the whole community. When barriers are removed and opportunities are equal, everyone gets to shine a little brighter.

We can’t wait to cheer Ellie on as she takes to the floor. Her steps will be more than choreography; they’ll be a statement of possibility, empowerment, and joy for millions watching at home!
