Participating in Strictly is a ‘dream come true’ for Laila who is especially looking forward to wearing as many sparkly costumes and sensational hair styles as possible!

Laila’s father is Moroccan, her mother is Indian, and she's the eldest daughter of seven children. One of her sisters, Saeida lives in Oman where she works as a teacher. She has extended family living and working in London.

Laila began modelling when she was aged 17. But her big break came a year later when she was cast in a film called City of Dreams. In 2002 Laila swapped Bollywood for Hollywood, when she won a part in The Four Feathers, alongside Heath Ledger.

Laila’s Footballer’s Wives character, Amber, was a former Bollywood superstar. Her arch nemesis in the show was Tanya Turner - played by none other than Zoe Lucker!

Anton grew up in Sevenoaks, Kent with his Spanish mother, Hungarian father, and his brother and sister. He started dancing at 14 - one evening he went to pick his sister up from her Ballroom class and saw all the wonderful girls taking part, and suddenly he swapped allegiance from football to dance!

Anton began dancing in school competitions very quickly after beginning lessons. He had a lot of ground to make up though, as by 14 most people were already experienced competitors on the junior circuit. Anton trained in both Ballroom and Latin until he was 17 when he gave up the Latin dancing.

After leaving school he worked as a baker, getting up at 3 am, working a full day and then practicing his dancing in the evening. After that he mainly worked in retail, but he always knew that the dancing was what he wanted to do.
