Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has offered fans a sneak peek into his lavish home through various social media posts and TV appearances over the years. The father-of-two first graced the BBC dance competition when it premiered in 2004, often paired with the older or more hesitant contestants.
However, in 2021, he took on his first full series as a judge, and in 2022, it was revealed that he would be permanently taking over from Bruno Tonioli. On the telly most recently, Anton has been occupied with Strictly's 20th anniversary series. Just last week, Craig, Motsi and Anton decided to save Tasha Ghouri, signalling it was time for Gladiator Montell and her professional partner Johannes to bid farewell. Montell's departure means that Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Pete Wicks, Sarah Hadland and Tasha are the celebrity dancers progressing to the semi-final.

Anton is said to reside in a detached £1.8million house, constructed in the 1930s, in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, according to MailOnline.
The glimpses he has shared of their family mansion reveal rustic interiors and vintage decor. It's hardly surprising that his home exudes the same traditional elegance synonymous with ballroom dancing, reports OK!.

PA)During a cosy segment titled 'Anton du Bake', the ballroom legend showed off his culinary skills in his expansive kitchen, complete with rustic exposed brickwork and chic patterned tiles. The rest of his home is just as stylish, featuring plush fringed curtains, soaring ceilings, and classic wooden flooring – all adding to the timeless elegance that Anton du Beke embodies.
In a 2019 chat on Radio 5 Live, host Anna Foster couldn't help but gush over Anton's tasteful decor, exclaiming: "Anton du Beke, your background, good grief, those beautiful curtains! " To which Anton quipped: "I tell you, in our house it's death by swags and tails let me tell you. We've got fringing, the whole malarkey. It's like an abundance of fabric and it's really quite nice actually."

Not only does the room boast stunning mint green drapery, but it also features an elegant walnut dining set and sumptuous cream chairs, making it an ideal spot for entertaining with his wife, Hannah. Adding a touch of charm to the already exquisite space is a beautiful floral arrangement sitting prettily in the bay window.
During the lockdown, Anton was hosting virtual ballroom dance tutorials and his 'Fit at 50' exercise classes from his living room. This space boasts ballroom-quality wooden floors and large floral patterned curtains, adorned with blue fringing across the top.

When not serving as a studio, it transforms into the family's cosy living room. In a charming photo shared by Anton on World Book Day, his twins can be seen engrossed in a story read by their father.
The room features a cream sofa laden with cushions and an array of children's toys.
