His Partner
Ben has been dancing Freestyle Disco with his older sister, Gemma, for 6 -7 years and they originally entered the Birmingham auditions together. They both impressed the judges and were sent straight through to the London Recalls, however Gemma was knocked out at this stage, Ben was extremely upset by this. He soon warmed to his new partner Stephannie, however.
