Inside Anton du Beke's £1.8 million home with rarely-seen wife and mini-me twins
Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has given fans glimpses into his sprawling home through social media and TV appearances over the years. The father-of-two joined the BBC dance competition when it launched back in 2004, famously being partnered with the older, or more reluctant, contestants. Then in 2021, he did his first full series as a judge, and in 2022, it was announced that he would be permanently replacing Bruno Tonioli. On TV, Anton has been busy with Strictly's 20th anniversary series.
Just last week, Craig, Motsi and Anton choose to save Tasha Ghouri, meaning it was time for Gladiator Montell and her pro-partner Johannes to head home. Montell's exit means that Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Pete Wicks, Sarah Hadland and Tasha are the celebrity dancers making it through to the semi-final.
As the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 final is just over a week away, we've taken a peek inside Anton's glamorous home which he shares with his rarely-seen wife Hannah and their seven-year-old twins.

Anton reportedly lives in a detached £1.8million house, built in the 1930s, in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, according to MailOnline. The peeks he has shared inside their family mansion shows rustic interiors and vintage decor.
It's no surprise that his home has the same traditional elegance associated with ballroom dancing. The TV star once previously showed off his rustic kitchen during a video appearance on ITV's This Morning.
During a segment called 'Anton du Bake', the dancer took to his spacious kitchen to cook up a storm. He had exposed brick on one wall, adding a country feel to the space. While the rest of the area had patterned white and beige tiles and plain white cupboards.
The house also boasts glamorous fringed curtains, high ceilings and wooden floors; it has an old time glamour befitting of Anton himself. In a 2019 interview with Radio 5 Live, the star was complimented by host Anna Foster on his backdrop as he joined the conversation from home.
The shocked presenter said of Anton’s home: “Anton du Beke, your background, good grief, those beautiful curtains!”
Anton added: "I tell you, in our house it’s death by swags and tails let me tell you. We’ve got fringing, the whole malarkey. It’s like an abundance of fabric and it’s really quite nice actually."
He continued: "And I like to just sort of put myself in the little bay windows. It’s sort of quite regal, I quite like it really."
Aside from the fabulous mint green curtains the room also has a polished walnut dining table, complete with cream-coloured high back chairs.
The space is perfecting for hosting alongside his wife, Hannah. In the bay window is also a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that really adds to the traditional and classy feel of the space.
During lockdown Anton was teaching virtual ballroom dance tutorials as well as his 'Fit at 50' exercise classes from his living room. This space has ballroom-quality wooden floors and large floral patterned curtains, complete with blue fringing across the top.
The walls are painted a very traditional peachy-beige colour and the large bay windows flood the room with natural light. It is also the perfect space, when not used for digital classes, for his twins, George and Henrietta, to play around in.
When the room was not being used as a studio, it was the family's cosy living room. In this sweet snap that Anton posted on World Book Day, his twins are listening to their father read them a story. The space contains a cream sofa filled with cushions and many children's toys.
