💃 Strictly Air Ambulance 2026
Dancing to Keep Our Air Ambulances Flying 🚁
Strictly Air Ambulance returns in 2026 for its fourteenth dazzling year — bigger, brighter, and more sparkly than ever!
On Saturday 14th March 2026, seven courageous contestants from across Essex and Hertfordshire will swap their everyday shoes for dancing heels and take to the stage at The Brentwood Centre.
Each will be paired with a professional dancer to learn and perform two routines — one ballroom and one Latin — in front of a live audience and a panel of judges.
Hosted by EHAAT Celebrity Ambassador Lisa Snowdon and ITV’s David Whiteley, this unforgettable evening promises glitz, glamour, and incredible entertainment — all in support of a truly life-saving cause.
❤️ Why We Dance
Behind the sparkle lies a serious purpose. Every step and every samba helps raise vital funds to keep Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) flying.
EHAAT is a charity that provides a free, 24/7 pre-hospital emergency service for the people of Essex, Hertfordshire, and the surrounding areas. Our specialist doctors and paramedics deliver advanced critical care directly to the scene of life-threatening emergencies, giving patients the very best chance of survival.
“EHAAT receives no direct government or NHS funding — every mission is powered by the generosity of our supporters.”
Your donations make it possible for our helicopters and critical care cars to continue responding to thousands of emergency calls every year.
“Every dance move, every vote, every donation — it all helps save lives right here in our communities.”
Your generosity ensures that when someone faces the worst moment of their life, EHAAT can be there — bringing expert care and hope when it matters most.
