Louis Smith was the first British gymnast to win an Olympic medal for over 100 years at the Bejing Olympics in 2008 which he then followed with huge success at the London 2012 Olympics, winning an individual silver medal and leading the men’s team to win bronze. He added to his medal tally at the games winning an individual silver medal in the pommel horse. He was the celebrity winner of the 2012 Strictly Come Dancing.
