Hazel Newberry, MBE

Hazel Newberry was awarded an MBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List.

Hazel was a highly sucessful ballroom specialist until her retirement from competition, and was World Champion with her partner Christopher Hawkins between 2002 and 2004. Hazel is now a techer and judge, and according to the Richmond & Twickenham Times, she has not ruled out a return to Strictly Come Dancing.

"Quentin Wilson was lovely, but unfortunately nerves got the better of him on the show. He said he had never danced before and found it very hard to change from foot to foot, but he did get the routine in the end and was so proud of himself."



Hazel's partnership with Quentin was not her only involvement with Strictly. Hazel also participated in a special, non-broadcast edition of Strictly at the Edinburgh International Television Festival in 2005, partnering TV exec Richard Woolfe. They came third of six.
