Strictly's Lisa Snowdon

Friday, 29th August 2008

As well as being one of the UK's top models, Lisa Snowdon has also carved out a successful career in television.

Starting on MTV Select, Lisa began to hone her presenting skills and worked on shows such as LA Pool Party, Top Of The Pops, This Morning, Britain's Next Top Model, Through The Keyhole and Celebrity Apprentice on BBC One for Sports Relief.

Whilst modelling, Lisa has appeared in Vogue, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan.

Lisa says: "I never miss an episode of Strictly. I'm honoured to be involved this year; I will put my heart and soul into it."

Brendan Cole is Lisa Snowdon's dance partner

Brendan Cole returns for his sixth Strictly Come Dancing competition.

Kiwi Brendan moved to London when he was 18 to seek a career in dance. During that time he financed himself with a number of jobs including being a warehouseman and a builder.

He specialises in Latin American dancing, is Asian Pacific Latin America Champion and New Zealand Latin American Champion, and won the first series of Strictly Come Dancing with partner Natasha Kaplinsky.

This year Brendan thinks the show will be "harder than ever, more competition and more pressure, tempers will fray and probably not just mine!"
