Strictly Winner Carlos Gu Shares His Life in Dance

Reigning Strictly champion Carlos Gu shares his incredible story, from growing up in a remote village in China with dance coursing through his veins, to winning the coveted glitter ball with Lioness Karen Carney.

Carlos is currently on tour with fellow pro Amy Dowden in their breathtaking show, Amy and Carlos Reborn, and they star in Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted which goes out on our screens next year.

Carlos says China is where he’s from, but London is his home and the culture here has allowed him to embrace who he is. He’s performing at Asian Pride in London next month.
