Biographies

Darren Bennett

Darren is a down to earth, cheeky guy who loves his Northern roots. Darren and his partner and wife Lilia Kopylova, also appearing in Strictly Come Dancing, have been ranked the number one British Latin American couple. Other titles include the 2003 World Professional Rising Star Champions and the 2004 British Show Dance Champions.

Darren had always danced Ten Dance (ballroom and Latin) before he met Lilia in 1997 but they decided to specialise in Latin American.

A former Strictly champion, winning series two with actress Jill Halfpenny, this year Darren says he hopes "to go as far as I possibly can so that I can choreograph and be part of the show and explore all the opportunities with my new dance partner."

Lynda Bellingham

Warm, open, quick-witted and fun, Lynda is a critically-acclaimed and much treasured British actress. Her numerous acting credits include appearances in the cult classics Z Cars, The Sweeney and Doctor Who, alongside roles in All Creatures Great And Small, The Bill and Holby City. She is perhaps best known though for her role in the popular, long-running and multi-award winning adverts for Oxo, which made her the most recognised mum in Britain.

Today, Lynda is a firm fixture on daytime TV, appearing as an outspoken panellist on the ITV series, Loose Women.

Having kept her involvement in the show a secret, Lynda is not sure she'll get a positive reaction from her family: "At the moment my sons have no idea that I'm involved. I think they'll be horrified when they discover what's going on! Embarrassing mum and all that. Oh well!"
