Strictly Come Dancing - Ian Waite

8 October 2007 - Ian's speciality is Latin American.

He's a genuinely warm and charming person who is constantly smiling and who made it to the European Professional Latin Championships finals in 2003.

Ian's professional dance partner Camilla Dallerup, is also appearing in Strictly Come Dancing.

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.
