Marcquelle, 23, from Manchester has only been dancing for two years but has performed at a number of large events including Party In The Park, and Notting Hill Carnival. A keen basketball player, he has won numerous competitions. His past jobs include working as a sales assistant and model, but says entertainment is all he has ever wanted to do.

Having impressed the judges at the auditions with his rapping abilities, Marcquelle is now keen to go all the way, saying that nothing is too great a challenge when he sets his mind to it. He turned down a role in Hollyoaks for the chance to be part of DanceX.
