Who is Emma Weymouth on Strictly Come Dancing? Viscountess a contestant for new series

This time  a few months ago we had no clue who would be competing in this year's Strictly Come Dancing but now the new series is well underway.

Last year's series was of course won by documentary presenter Stacey Dooley and her pro partner, turned boyfriend, Kevin Clifton.

Ru Paul's Drag judge Michelle Visage, Paralympian Will Bayley, Radio 1 DJ Dev Griffin and soap star Kelvin Fletcher are among those competing and so is Emma Weymouth, who impressed the judges enough in week 4 to earn a score of 28 for her jive to Kim Wilde's Kids in America, alongside professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

Who is Emma Weymouth?

Born in London on March 16, 1986, Emma is 33 years old.

She is a chef, philanthropist and model, with Dolce & Gabbana one of the fashion labels she has walked for.

Her married name is Emma Thynn, having wed Ceawlin Thynn, Viscount Weymouth at a ceremony in 2012.

Their marriage was a rather controversial one, due to the fact that his father boycotted the ceremony after a feud with the Viscount over changes made at Longleat.

And his mother was banned from the ceremony by the Viscount after a feud over him marrying Emma.

When Ceawlin, succeeds his father, Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath as the 8th Marquess of Bath, Emma will become the first Black marchioness in British history.
