The similar celeb thread got me thinking, what are former pro dancers up to.

Ian Waite and Karen Hardy are both involved in It Takes Two.
Artem is on Dancing with the Stars in America.
Camilla went into I'm a celeb.
James was on Celeb Big Brother.

What about the others, any current news?

Anyone know what happened to Nicole Cutler? She was one of my favourites.

Nicole Cutler met cricketer Jonathan Batty at Strictly (he was a friend of Mark Ramprakash I believe). They got married, had a baby and lived happily ever after.

For some reason I thought I would look up one series wonder, Hayley Holt. It would seem she has been spending her time doing TV and radio presenting...and boxing (and a bit of drinking!)

Darren and Lilia have spent much of their time in Israel doing DWTS and Lilia was involved in the Turkish version called Yok Boyle Dans

Darren is still involved with the Israeli show and they are having their first baby early in 2015

John Byrnes was the consultant to the BBC for the first series and also appeared on the first show with Claire Sweeney. He is married and has three children and runs a dance school which is producing some fabulous dance couples, based in Beckenham.
Matthew Cutler also has a dance school in Croydon and Nicole works there with him from time to time I think.

Matthew Cutler was a judge at a dance comp I went to recently as well. He got the loudest cheer... I felt a bit sorry for the other judges.

Anya is involved as a choreographer on the show, and she's also going to be joining pasha on his tour in the new year.

Earlier in the year Anya was involved with SYTYCD in the Usa and took part in the tour afterwards

As well as appearing on ITT, Ian (and Natalie) have a very successful dance based fitness company called FitSteps - classes are now available all over the UK. He also does ballroom classes on a Monday as well as FitSteps and does one to one dance lessons too.

Several of the pros take part in the very successful P&O Strictly themed cruises every year too.

They (that is Anton and Erin, not the baby!) are touring as usual next year and doing a few Christmas shows at the Royal Albert Hall in December. Last year's was good festive fun despite a very small stage (for dancing) and Erin's relatively advanced stage of pregnancy. Anton heaved her about much as usual.

She's done other things other than her very short stint on that show since Strictly. Check her Twitter.
