All sorts of famous faces are taking part in the ongoing series of Strictly Come Dancing, with actors, sporting personalities and more taking to the ballroom floor over the next few weeks.

One of these contestants is Neighbours and River City star Stefan Dennis.

He is partnered with Dianne Buswell and has managed to stay in the competition so far despite getting fairly low scores from the judges.

While Stefan might be familiar to most viewers, especially for playing the role of ruthless businessman Paul Robinson in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, the woman he is married to isn't as well-known.

Stefan Dennis and his love life have had lots of twists and turns over the years, with the Neighbours star first marrying model and The Price Is Right star Roz Roy.

The pair met when they were teenagers on the Gold Coast, where Dennis was undertaking an apprenticeship to become a chef.

After tying the knot, the newlywed couple moved to Melbourne so Dennis could pursue his acting career.

After 11 years together, Dennis and Roy confirmed that they were separating in 1989.

Before finding the woman he is married to today, Dennis dated Torn singer Natalie Imbruglia and Gayle Blakeney in the 1990s.

These flings happened while they were co-starring alongside him in Neighbours.

In the year 2000, the BBC Strictly Come Dancing star married Gail Easdale at Borthwick Castle. The couple met while they were performing in a pantomime in London.

They now have three children, with Easdale later appearing alongside Dennis in Neighbours as Julie Quill.
