Ben Cohen

Ben Cohen is a former England rugby player and anti-bullying advocate. Born in 1978, he was part of England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup-winning team, playing as a winger. He retired from rugby in 2011 and shifted his focus to charity work, founding the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation, which supports anti-bullying initiatives, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. In 2013, he competed on Strictly Come Dancing, where his athleticism helped, but he struggled with performance skills, leading to his elimination in Week 9. Cohen remains active in charity work and public speaking, using his platform to promote inclusivity and mental health awareness. More on Wikipedia.
