Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 17:57 · Archive

Delta Goodrem has the highest net worth of Strictly Come Dancing 2026 contestants at around £11.9 million, according to reports cited by multiple outlets. The figure comes from her music and acting career in Australia and internationally.

Goodrem is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress. She rose to fame playing Nina Tucker in the soap opera Neighbours from 2002 to 2003 and later returned for guest appearances, including the show's finale in 2022 before it was rebooted by Prime Video. She has served as a coach on The Voice Australia and achieved five Australian number one albums.

Earlier this year, Goodrem finished fourth in the Eurovision Song Contest with her song Eclipse. She is competing in Strictly 2026 alongside other high-profile contestants including TV personality Dani Dyer and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton.

Other contestants in the current series have significant net worths. Former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips, who played for Manchester City, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers among others, is reported to have a net worth just over £10 million. TV personality Dani Dyer's net worth is reported at more than £7 million, and TV and radio presenter Will Best's at around £4.5 million.

Goodrem's former Neighbours co-star Stefan Dennis competed in Strictly last year but withdrew from the competition in October after injuring his calf.
