Joining Strictly in 2022, this Chinese National Champion has a wealth of dance accolades under his belt, being a multiple world semi-finalist, and third place competitor at the German Open Championships. He also became the Amateur Latin Rising Star Runner Up at the 2017 UK Open, and has incredible experience in ballroom, ballet and contemporary dance.
Carlos is bringing all of that and more to Strictly, saying: “I’m thrilled to join Strictly and very excited to get started. It’s a new chapter of my life and a new challenge as well. I’m absolutely ready to take on this journey and to shine.”
His Strictly journey started with his first ever celebrity partner, singer and CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ star Molly Rainford, and they made it all the way to the final finishing in sixth place. In 2023, Carlos was paired up with presenter Angela Scanlon, and the pair had an incredible run but narrowly missed out on the quarter finals.
