Tom Chambers

Tom is regularly seen on UK TV dramas such as “Holby City”, “Casualty” and “Waterloo Road”. He became very much a household name when he won the sixth series of the “UK’s Strictly Come Dancing” TV show.

In December 2000, Chambers had a narrow brush with death when the British Airways flight he was travelling on from London to Nairobi was involved in an attempted hijack. The plane plunged 19,000 feet before the pilots recovered control of the aircraft and landed the plane safely.
