A multi-talented TV presenter with a background in economics, music, and sport, Gethin Jones is best known for his time on Blue Peter and as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.

Gethin’s big break came in 2005 when he was chosen to be a contestant on the BBC’s popular reality show “Strictly Come Dancing.” Paired with professional dancer Camilla Dallerup, Gethin wowed audiences with his charm, athleticism, and dance moves, and he eventually finished in third place. His success on the show led to other opportunities, including presenting the spin-off show “Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two.”

Last year, Gethin surprised fans when he appeared on Morning Live using crutches, with his foot in a large supportive boot. He later shared that he had undergone surgery for ankle arthroscopy and lateral ligament reconstruction.
