Quickenden first rose to fame in 2012 after appearing on The X Factor before being eliminated at the Judges' Houses. He later appeared on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice.
A source said: "Jake has caught the eye of the Strictly bookers. He’s fun, hunky and known as an all-round nice guy. He’s an actor and singer, so is a natural performer. And he won Dancing On Ice, so has clearly got the moves. And now he's in the BBC stables, he's part of the gang."
Quickenden has previously expressed his interest in doing Strictly in the past, admitting: "I don’t think there’s been many people that have gone from Dancing on Ice to Strictly, but if it ever came around, I’d love to do it."
It had previously been rumoured that Dani would be making a return to the Strictly ballroom, with the TV personality previously saying she'd "love to do it again".
Dani said in a statement of her joining the 2026 cast: "I am so excited to be back in the ballroom this September! I just cannot wait to get my dancing shoes back on and hopefully this time around I can actually make it to week one! I’m just over the moon and cannot wait to find out who else is doing it!"
Turner said in a statement: "I am so excited to being making my way to the dance floor this year to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing!
More announcements will be made throughout the summer ahead of the new season this September.
