Anton is eternally young and 5’11”. His professional partner is fellow Strictly dancer, Erin Boag. They have been dancing together for 11 years and turned professional in 2002. His speciality is Ballroom. 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.
