Strictly star Nigel Harman's famous wife - and the couple's mega fan daughter
Former EastEnders actor Nigel Harman took the Strictly dance floor by storm in week one with his fiery Paso Doble alongside partner Katya Jones. Judges praised the performance as the "dance of the night", but it seems that by week two, Nigel's luck had already begun to turn.
During their passionate Viennese Waltz, Shirley Ballas praised Nigel's "graceful arms and lovely connection", but noted technical errors and too much up and down. When the audience booed her critique, she fired back, telling them they might learn something if they held their tongues.
Despite Anton Du Beke's praise for the couple's intimacy and storytelling, Craig Revel Horwood was less impressed, citing technical issues and flat-footedness. However, the couple was voted through to week three, where they performed a Batman-inspired jive to rave reviews from Anton and lukewarm comments from Craig.

He did, however, add that Nigel "did a beautiful pirouette which takes some skill" before the judges scored him a comfortable total of 25.
The beloved actor who starred as Dennis Rickman in Eastenders is making waves once again after he joined the cast of Casualty. Despite his EastEnders' character being killed off in a heart-wrenching scene back in 2005, Nigel remains a fan favourite of the BBC soap. But his success on screen isn't the only thing that makes him stand out.

Nigel has been married to his wife Lucy Liemann for 12 years, who is also a successful actor. Fans may recognise Lucy from her roles in popular shows like The Bill, The IT Crowd, and Midsomer Murders. But it was her role in the Jason Bourne film series that truly catapulted her into the spotlight.
The couple met on the set of Hotel Babylon, where they both starred and have been keeping their marriage as private as possible ever since. They welcomed their daughter just a year after tying the knot, and even though she's too young to attend Nigel's performances in person, she's always cheering him on from home.

According to his professional partner Katya Jones, "Her little face - she was so proud! That's all that matters, isn't it, at the end of the day." And Nigel's wife Lucy is right there with her, supporting him every step of the way. Lucy and their daughter have even been to watch Nigel train with Katya for his performances on Strictly Come Dancing. "It was really lovely," he told Radio Times.
