Having partnered celebrities in three seasons of hit series Dancing With The Stars, Kym Johnson is one of Australia's best known dancers. She is not however, renowned for her love of roughing it.

Dancing since the age of two, Kym trained in ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance as well as acrobatics, but now specialises in ballroom. In 1998, her and then partner Tomas Atkocevicius came second at the Australian Dancesport Championships in the Open Amateur Modern Ballroom.

Kym also toured the world with Burn The Floor and then the US and Japan with Sydney’s New Generation. Other career highlights include dancing at the Blade Runner launch, Elton John’s 50th birthday party and appearing in the hit movie Strictly Ballroom. She also recently set up her own dance group.

Kym feels Celebrity Survivor is the first thing she has actually done entirely on her own. Despite admitting her naivety about the outdoors, Kym, 29, was determined not to arrive in Vanuatu ill prepared. That’s why she called Scouts Australia the week before she left.

Kym's chosen charity is Merry Makers Australia.
