Paul took part in the first two series of Strictly Come Dancing. In series 1 he danced with Verona Joseph, reaching the fourth round, whilst in series 2 he danced with Carol Vorderman and reached the second round.

Hanna took part in the first series of the BBC television show Strictly Come Dancing, where she danced with East Enders actor Christopher Parker. They were regularly placed last by the judges, But because of Christopher's enormous fan base, this enabled them to keep in the competition right up to the final, where they ended the series in second place
