But with more than eight million viewers tuning in each weekend, the Saturday night extravaganza has also made celebrities of the professional dancers. hello! has reunited four former fan favourites, Ian Waite, Artem Chigvintsev, Robin Windsor and Vincent Simone, for this exclusive photoshoot as the quartet tell how the show has shaped their lives.

There’s no doubt that performing together on Strictly has given these four men a lifelong bond. Says Artem: “It’s like a big family, so when you step away from that, you miss it a lot. I also miss the Tube. And that feeling of being in a city. I also miss Television Centre, the original Strictly studio.”Vincent has also headed overseas. He has a home in Spain with his wife Susan and their two sons Luca and Matteo, but he often flies to the UK, where he still gets recognised.

“But Zoe and I are like brother and sister,” he adds. “I love her so much. I’ve had highs and lows in my life and she’s always been there.” Ian was with Zoe when he had an unforgettable on-screen moment. “I fell over in the final when we were doing our showdance,” he says. “I was the first pro to fall over.
