Broadcasting is in his blood
It is hardly surprising Durden-Smith has turned out to be a television star given his parents glittering broadcast careers.
His mother is Judith Chalmers, famous for presenting Wish You Were Here …? on ITV between 1974 and 2003.
She also presented Come Dancing on BBC in the 60s, which was revived as Strictly Come Dancing.
Durden-Smith was honoured as the main host of a new version of the show in 2008 in which he revisited destinations originally visited by Judith and other presenters in the original 1974 series, to see how much they have changed.
His father Neil is a former sports commentator and first-class cricketer.
