Biography
Rycroft grew up in the town of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire.
In 2003, Rycroft became a member of the British pop group the Fast Food Rockers. The band had two Top 10 hits with the "Fast Food Song" written by Mike Stock and Sandy Rass and "Say Cheese (Smile Please)", released on independent record label Better The Devil Records. The Fast Food Rockers split in 2004 and are now working on their own individual projects.
In 2006, Rycroft was involved in an E4/Channel 4 TV show called Boys will be Girls, a six-week show that aired from April 2006. The aim of the show was to try to pass off a bunch of male ex-pop-band members as a brand new girl band. Over the course of the show, the trio known as The Honeytraps were shown having lessons in how to be feminine and recorded a download single, a cover of A Flock of Seagulls' 1982 hit "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)".
In 2008, Rycroft moved to the United States and returned to the ballroom as a teacher and competitor.
