Impressive net worth and career

Carlos is no stranger to the dancing world, having already made a name for himself. The 28-year-old boasts an estimated net worth of $3million (£2.7million) and holds the title for the Chinese National Dance Champion. He's also a multi-world semi-finalist, came third in the German Open Championship, and was the UK’s Amateur Latin Rising Star Runner Up in 2017.

Carlos' love life

It seems that Carlos seems to keep his personal life private and hasn't opened up about any potential romantic partners in his life. Rumours swirled Carlos and his previous Strictly partner Molly Rainford may have been more than just friends but neither of them addressed this.

Despite, this Carlos still has a cheeky side to him which he showed off to Strictly host Claudia Winkleman during his first performance on the BBC show last year, where he grabbed her and left her flustered before she shouted 'I’m pregnant'. While on the spin-off show It Takes Two, Rylan Clark said: "We need to talk about Claudia," before replaying the clip.

Carlos replied: "Oh I loved that moment. When I talked to her about my favourite dance and she said 'Rumba is just standing', I was like, 'How dare you, let me bring you back to the Rumba moves'." Rylan replied: "Well we were jealous! We were jealous! Honestly it was such a lovely moment to watch and we are so thrilled you are here."

Strictly friendships

Despite being a newcomer to the show, it seems that Carlos has already made close friendships with fellow Strictly stars. He is often seen hanging out with Nancy Xu, Dianne Buswell, Johannes Radebe and Katya Jones. Carlos had previously thanked his followers for their support on the show last year and Katya replied: "We love you Carlos!!!!!!!! You are such a beautiful person and phenomenal dancer! I can’t wait for everyone to see it!"
