Jacqui Smith

Jacqui Smith is a British politician, best known for being the UK’s first female Home Secretary, serving under Gordon Brown from 2007 to 2009. Born in 1962, she later transitioned into broadcasting and political analysis. In 2020, she competed on Strictly Come Dancing, but her lack of dance experience led to her elimination in Week 1. Despite her short run, she embraced the experience and praised the show’s inclusivity. Since Strictly, Smith has continued to work in broadcasting, hosting political podcasts and appearing as a commentator on current affairs programs, while also supporting women in politics.
