Originally from Christchurch in New Zealand, Brendan began dancing at the age of six and became a professional dancer after leaving school at 17.
But he was cut from Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 and announced that his contract had not been renewed.
Back in 2006 Brendan was a runner-up on ITV’s Love Island and also appeared as a guest judge on Britain’s Next Top Model in the same year.
Brendan is married to model and blogger Zoe Hobbs, 39. They wed in 2010 and have a daughter together called Aurelia, who was born in 2012.
Previously talking about the competition, he said: “None of this ‘I don’t mind if I don’t win’, we all want to do well, you don’t take part in something like this if you don’t want to do well.
“Everyone is going to be trying their utmost to get to the next week, to the next week, to the next week, and if anybody says they’re not they’re lying through their teeth.”
