Who is Brendan Cole?

Brendan specialises is Latin American. He and his former partner Camilla Dallerup have been both the New Zealand and Asian Open professional champions and were semi-finalists at the International, UK Open, British Open and World Championships.

Brendan has appeared on every series of Strictly and was a judge on the show in New Zealand from 2005 - 2009, there running under the Dancing With The Stars title. Unafraid to voice his opinions, Brendan has clashed with the judges over decisions over the years.

As well as his own partnerships - including Kelly Brook, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lisa Snowdon - Brendan danced with Holly Valance and Anita Dobson in 2011 when their own pros were injured.
