Amy Dowden and her partner Ben Jones were crowned British National Latin Dance Champions 2016, becoming the first all-British couple to win the title in over 30 years. Their other awards include British Dance Federation Champions, English Closed Champions and Welsh Closed and Open Champions.
Since he joined Strictly Come Dancing In 2017, Amy has become one of the show’s most beloved professionals. Her highlight came in 2019, when she reached the final with Karim Zeroual, while she has also partnered with Tom Fletcher, Brian Conley and JJ Chalmers.
Amy’s accomplishments extend beyond the dance floor. She won the Raising Awareness Award at Hello! Magazine Star Women Awards 2019, received a Points of Light Award from the Prime Minister in 2023 and was awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honors in 2024 for his charity work with Crohn’s and Colitis UK. Her BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Crohn’s & Me won a BAFTA Cymru, and following her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment she continues her advocacy through her work with both My Breast Friend and CoppaFeel! A new BBC One documentary following her cancer journey was broadcast last year.
Carlos Gu is a three-time Chinese national champion, multiple world semi-finalist, and has achieved success as a German Open finalist and runner-up in the Amateur Rising Star Latin at the 2017 British Championships.
Joining Strictly Come Dancing In 2022 Carlos reached the final of his debut season with Molly Rainford, and in 2023 Angela Scanlon teamed up and captivated audiences with her stunning Argentine Tango in Blackpool. He currently wows audiences every week with former footballer Karen Carney.
Beyond Strictly, Carlos has performed on live tours and directed professional productions showcasing his artistry. His charisma and openness have also shone through television appearances on The One Show, This morning, Lorraine, It takes two, The hit list and CBeebies Bedtime Storieswhere he has talked about how dance and his move to the UK have changed his life.
As Carlos continues to inspire audiences, his story – like Amy’s – is one of passion, resilience and renewal. Together, they promise an unforgettable experience with REBORN.
