New Zealand-born Brendan and his British model wife tied the knot in 2010, and they welcomed their daughter Aurelia on Christmas Day 2012. These next few months will be busy for Brendan with the professional dancer set to compete on the BBC dance show with his celebrity partner, Good Morning Britain's Charlotte Hawkins. Speaking about her decision to sign up, Charlotte said: "I've always been a big fan of the show. It is a dream come true to be taking part and I'll be following in the footsteps of my Good Morning Britain colleagues. I'm looking forward to stepping out from behind the news desk to cha-cha-cha my way across the dancefloor!"
