'Strictly come Dancing' is the BBC’s celebrity dancing extravaganza, full of glitz, sparkle, and sequins, and with its hosts Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly, has taken the nation by storm since making its grand entrance onto our screens in 2004.

A prime-time showcase of British ballroom panache, celebrity glamour and professional prowess has couples hot-step to win judge’s votes and the nation’s favour - and with over 20 million viewers tuning in to watch last year’s final, ‘Strictly’ has truly captured imaginations!

Ian has been a keystone professional dancer in the programme since Series 2, a hot favourite too: reaching the Final twice - and proving an inspirational teacher to his celebrity partners. With spectacular displays of ballroom grace, Latin fever and sharp-footed freestyle, Ian’s original and innovative choreography shines as brightly as his performances.
