That's why he always goes to sleep last - Ross Antony joins Let's Dance 2026 with heartfelt family stories and new challenges
British-born star Ross Antony is set to join the 2026 season of Let's Dance, which begins on February 27. The 19th series of the popular show will feature the singer, author, and long-time television personality as one of its contestants. Before stepping onto the dance floor, Antony shared a glimpse of his family life in a heartfelt introductory video.
Ross Antony has been married to his husband, Paul Reeves, for 24 years. He describes marriage as his biggest life lesson, teaching him about commitment and responsibility. The couple's family life is often described as 'a little clumsy', which has shaped Antony's habit of being the last to go to bed—always checking that everything is turned off and safe.
Beyond his television career, Antony has worked as an author for over 15 years. His Backen mit Ross baking book series and the motivational guide Gute Laune glänzt und glitzert became bestsellers, even reaching the Spiegel list. When not working, he enjoys quiet moments at home, often unwinding with a cup of tea while watching his favourite show.
As he prepares for Let's Dance, Antony admits he tends to give up easily. He hopes his dance partner will keep him motivated throughout the competition. The 2026 season marks his first time on the show, adding another chapter to his long career in entertainment.
Ross Antony will bring his energy and experience to Let's Dance when the new season starts on February 27. Fans can expect to see his personality shine, both on and off the dance floor. The show will give audiences a closer look at his journey, from family life to his latest challenge in ballroom dancing.
