Strictly Come Dancing favourite Anton Du Beke has bravely opened up about his wife Hannah's ongoing battle with a rare and debilitating health condition. The professional dancer described the illness as "cruel" and "inexplicable," shedding light on the emotional toll it has taken on their family.
In a heartfelt interview, Anton shared how Hannah's condition causes severe pain and has dramatically impacted their daily lives. "It's been incredibly tough," he admitted. "Seeing someone you love suffer without clear answers is heartbreaking."
A Family's Strength Tested
The couple, who married in 2017 and are parents to twins George and Henrietta, have faced numerous challenges since Hannah's symptoms first appeared. Anton revealed how they've navigated countless hospital visits and consultations with specialists, all while maintaining as normal a life as possible for their children.
"We take each day as it comes," said the Strictly star. "Hannah's courage through it all has been extraordinary. She's my inspiration."
Raising Awareness
By speaking out, Anton hopes to bring attention to lesser-known health conditions that often go undiagnosed or misunderstood. "If sharing our story helps even one other family feel less alone, it's worth it," he explained.
The dancer also praised the NHS staff who have supported them throughout Hannah's treatment, calling their dedication "remarkable."
As Strictly's new series approaches, Anton remains committed to both his professional and family responsibilities, proving that even TV's most glamorous stars face real-life challenges behind the scenes.
