In Rio, he defended his title and set a Paralympic record. Last year, he took gold at the World Para Athletics Championships in London. He is currently on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, which runs until 11 February. He lives near Loughborough with his girlfriend Sally Brown, who is also a Paralympic athlete.
