The story goes that Anton met Hannah in a London bar in 2008. He was out with friends, she was out with friends, and boom — a little bit of DJ magic and a lot of banter.
Anton has said in interviews that he spotted her across the room and thought, “She’s stunning.” He chartered his way over, and they hit it off instantly. No dance moves needed, just good old-fashioned chat.
Now, here’s the ironic bit: Anton, the king of ballroom, didn’t even ask her to dance that night. He asked for her number. Sometimes the best partnerships start off the dance floor, you know?
The Secret Wedding (Because Anton Loves a Surprise)
They got married in 2017, but don’t think it was a flashy bash with a live orchestra and sequins. Nope. Anton and Hannah tied the knot in a tiny, private ceremony at a registry office in London.
He didn’t tell anyone — not his Strictly pals, not the press. He just showed up in a suit, said “I do,” and then immediately filmed an episode of The One Show. Classic Anton: work first, honeymoon later.
The couple didn’t even have a proper honeymoon for months. They finally went on a belated trip to Italy, and Anton admitted it was the first real holiday he’d taken in years. That’s the price of fame, eh?
