Strictly Come Dancing helped Julian to move on up and win Big Brother.

Mark Benton got a tv quiz master job after Strictly (probably not your first thought for that type of job) and is doing loads of theatre work, he's currently in As You Like It at the National Theatre.
Mark was doing theatre work before Strictly - I saw him in Hairspray the week before it started

Matt Baker was already doing Countryfile and had been doing other presentation work so I don't think The One Show job was just because of Strictly but obviously must have helped.
What Strictly did was give Matt some leverage to negotiate for The One Show job. Without it I suspect he'd have had to give up Countryfile because that used to film Monday/Tuesday and he would be committed to The One Show then.

Basically they moved the entire filming schedule for Countryfile to Thursday/Friday to accommodate him doing The One Show. Without Strictly showing he could cope with the pressure of multiple shows at once and was popular I don't think that would have happened...
