Mark Foster (Strictly Come Dancing partner is Hayley Holt)

Mark is arguably the most successful swimmer Britain has ever produced. Six times a world champion, he has broken eight world records and won 10 European Champion medals and two Commonwealth Champion medals. He recently competed in his fifth Olympic games.

Mark likes to be vocal about issues he feels strongly about and warns the Strictly Come Dancing judges to watch out.

Mark says: “I’m sure I’ll enjoy some good natured banter with them. I was an avid viewer when my friend Colin Jackson was the runner-up in 2005, and understand that this in a once-in-a-lifetime chance.”
