Latin dance champion Michelle Tsiakkas first started dancing at the age of six in her home country of Cyprus. There she became an undefeated champion, winning national titles consecutively from 2001-2011 before moving to London to study.
Whilst in the UK she continued to compete, representing England at major international championships before joining the world touring dance show Burn The Floor.
Now she's stepping into the world of Strictly and we're so happy to have her on board. “Being a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing has been my dream ever since I was a little girl. I cannot believe my dream has come true!" she said. "I’m so grateful to be joining this incredible family and I can’t wait to step on that magical dance floor and give it my all!”
Michelle is partnered with her first celebrity partner this year, Jamie Borthwick, and we can't wait to see them on the dance floor.
