Strictly star expelled for violence at 17: Now I'm a dancer, not a fighter

A NEW Strictly star was kicked out of school over violence against a fellow pupil just three years ago.

Cameron Lombard, 20, was launched by the BBC in a blaze of publicity last Monday. But viewers were not told of his violent past in his native South Africa.

The attack – when he was 17 – was filmed by classmates and shared more than 1,000 times on social media.

Latin dance champion Cameron last night spoke to the Sunday Mirror about the incident, telling us: “I have learned from it and would react differently now. That’s not who I am, I’m a dancer, I’m not a fighter.”

He claimed he had retaliated after an attack against him the day before, adding: “I reacted in completely the wrong way, and I realise that and regret it.

“I was a schoolchild when this happened and I’ve grown up a lot since then.”
