Read a full profile of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 pro Aljaz Skorjanec, including his key stats, show record and a Q&A.

Aljaz Skorjanec

Age: 34

Hometown: Ptuj, Slovenia

Series count: 10 as of 2024

Best finish: Winner (Abbey Clancy, 2013)

Previous celeb partners: Abbey Clancy (1st, 2013), Alison Hammond (10th, 2014), Helen George (6th, 2015), Daisy Lowe (8th, 2016), Gemma Atkinson (2nd, 2017), Kate Silverton (8th, 2018), Emma Weymouth (9th, 2019), Clara Amfo (7th, 2020), Sara Davies (8th, 2021)

Describe Strictly in one word?: "Happiness. I think it's a glittery happiness, an escape for so many people. After a tough week of work or whatever they might be going through, they can sit down on a Saturday and just enjoy it. To be honest, it's the only live TV show left where the whole family can sit together with a cup of tea and forget about the world for two hours."

How do you feel to be part of Strictly's 20th year?: "Privilege. It's been a privilege really. This is my 10th year so I've done half of them and the show has changed my life. Changed my life for the better. And it gets better every single year. And I think on the 20th anniversary it's going to be even more special. I was there when Bruce was presenting. It's a testament to how good it is that it's been running for 20 years."
