The pilots recovered control of the aircraft and all passengers landed safely. Chambers described this as "the most terrifying experience of my life". It was this flight that caused him to seek out his teenage sweetheart, Clare Harding, and propose. Chambers married Clare in October 2008 in Derbyshire, having to change the date due to his commitments in Strictly Come Dancing. In 2008, Chambers took part in the Great Walk to Beijing which was organised by singer Olivia Newton-John in aid of breast cancer awareness and research. Tom Chambers is a British actor, known for his role as Sam Strachan in the BBC medical drama Holby City. Chambers attended the National Youth Music Theatre and Guildford School of Acting. He has starred opposite Matthew Rhys and Kate Ashfield in the British film Fakers. Tom's interest in dance led him to recreate the sequence from the 1937 RKO film A Damsel in Distress in which Fred Astaire tap dances with a drum kit. The video was sent to casting directors and led to Tom gaining a part in Holby City. In May 2009, it was announced by Denise Welch on Loose Women that Tom will be joining the fifth series of BBC drama, Waterloo Road as new Executive Head Teacher, Max Tyler.
