Celebrity ballroom dancers hit the high seas
BBC Strictly Come Dancing stars Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova are making a splash by appearing on two different cruise line’s ships.
The duo will be taking to the floor on P&O Cruises’ Oceana this month with demonstrations and master classes.
Other dance couples from the series will also be on board the line’s Arcadia, Aurora and Oriana.
The dancing couple will then go on board Thomson Cruises’ Destiny next April to host and judge a ‘dance fever’ competition to be run on the company’s largest ship in January and February.
Bennett and Kopylova are part of a new line-up of celebrity after dinner speakers and performers unveiled by P&O Cruises including World Cup winner Jack Charlton, former jockeys Richard Dunwoody, Bob Champion and Richard Pittman and wildlife presenter Chris Packham.
