Brendan Cole: Lisa Snowdon is an even better dancer than Kelly Brook

Strictly Come Dancing star says the former model is a strong contender to win this year's show

Brendan Cole is looking forward to coaching Lisa Snowdon on Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole has hinted that former model Lisa Snowdon could be his best celebrity dance partner yet.

The 32-year-old is paired with Lisa, 36, for this year’s competition and says she's even better than former partner Kelly Brook – who was hot favourite to win last year before she had to pull out of the competition.

‘Lisa’s a super dancer,’ he tells The Sun. ‘She’s absolutely fabulous in rehearsals, she’s even better than Kelly last year – and so glam.’

‘Lisa’s a strong woman and I can work with that. She’s always ringing me up to get tips.’

Kelly, 28, dropped out of the show following her dad’s death

Strictly Come Dancing starts on BBC1 on 20 September.
