Strictly Come Dancing - Erin Boag

8 October 2007 - The IDTA Classic Champion for 2003, Erin is a strong, vivacious Kiwi, who specialises in ballroom dancing.

Her professional dance partner is Anton Du Beke, also appearing in Strictly Come Dancing.

She has twice made the final of the show in previous series, with partners Julian Clary and Colin Jackson, and last year danced with Peter Schmeichel.

From the off, the couples will face the judges and the public vote. In week one a male will go, in week two a female will go and in the third week the lowest scoring pair starts leaving the competition.

As in previous series all the proceeds from viewer voting will go towards BBC Children in Need, which has now raised a staggering £4.7million over the four series.

Those who can't wait for the Saturday night show can get their daily fix on BBC Two when Claudia Winkleman returns with Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two, bringing you exclusive interviews, backstage gossip and footage from the training sessions.
