Pasha Kovalev has led an extraordinary life. His talent and determination have led him from the stark landscape of his Siberian hometown to dance in Moscow, New York, LA and finally in London, where he now lives. Best known for Strictly Come Dancing, which he won in 2014 with Caroline Flack (having previously danced his way to the finals two years’ running with partners Chelsee Healey & Kimberley Walsh), Pasha still remains something of an enigma. Unlike some of his dancing co-stars he has eschewed the limelight. He doesn’t frequent the pages of celeb glossies and, despite his relationship with former dance partner Rachel Riley, his fans have known little about him outside the television shows that made him famous. But all that’s about to change as, in this candid autobiography, Pasha spills the beans on everything from romance to body image, the illness which nearly killed him and, most importantly, what really goes on beneath the veneer of sparkles and glamour.

Pasha's talent and determination has taken him to some amazing places all around the world including Moscow, New York, LA and London. However, it was the grey, stark landscape of his Siberian hometown, still reeling from the Communist regime, which provided the unlikely inspiration for his early love of ballroom dancing, a passion that he has embraced and nurtured ever since. With a desire to succeed, Pasha fought off tough competition to win a place on So You Think You Can Dance in the US, and then became one of the best-loved professionals on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK. It's no surprise that Pasha has twice danced his way into the Strictly final, and waltzed straight into the hearts of the nation. Yet, despite his fame, Pasha remains something of an enigma and, unlike some of is dancing co-stars, has eschewed the limelight, preferring to express himself through movement. Now, in his own words, Pasha reveals all in his heart-warming autobiography. From romance to body image, Pasha speaks candidly about the impact his extensive world travel and showbiz life have had on his mindset, and the illness that nearly killed him.He'll separate fact from fiction, the man from the myth and reveal how it really felt to almost lift the Glitter-ball trophy with Chelsee Healey and Kimberley Walsh. Most of all, he'll give readers a glimpse behind the scenes of the flashy world of ballroom, and what really goes on beneath the veneer of sparkles and glamour.
