👑 Danny Stowell - King Edward 👑

King Edward V had one of the shortest reigns in English history, much like how a fiery Latin routine can be over in a flash but leave a lasting impact! As a Ten Dancer turned Latin specialist, Danny brings both elegance and dynamism to the dance floor, much like Edward’s brief but significant place in royal history! 👑💃🕺

Let’s hope Danny’s presence on the judging panel lasts a little longer than Edward’s time on the throne! 😜💃🕺🪩👑
