Here’s a look at this year’s Strictly Come Dancing pro line up with two new faces: Tristan MacManus and Joanne Clifton.
Joanne Clifton joins Strictly as a professional partner alongside her brother Kevin, who joined Strictly in 2013 and was partnered with Susanna Reid. They are the first siblings to participate in the show.
Joanne is World Ballroom Showdance Champion and has competed in over 20 countries around the world. Over the years, Joanne has won numerous awards and accolades and is five-time British Champion, European Professional Champion and recently, champion of the World Dancesport Games in Taiwan.
Irish born Tristan MacManus joins Strictly after three years as a professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars in America, where he most notably partnered Gladys Knight and Pamela Anderson.
Tristan began dancing his home of Bray, Co. Wicklow before competing around Europe, winning numerous juvenile, junior and amateur competitions. He has appeared in many successful stage shows including Dirty Dancing and Burn The Floor.
Also returning to Strictly as a professional partners is four-time Australian Dance Champion Natalie Lowe, who will be back in the ballroom once again after withdrawing from last year’s series due to injury.
It all means we say goodbye to all of Anya Garnis, Artem Chigvintsev and James Jordan.
