Early Life
Cutler was born in Chelmsford, Essex. His mother is Betty Cutler. His father is David Cutler and his brother, fashion designer Jason Cutler designs all his clothes - personal and professional.
When he was four, his family moved to Southend on Sea, Essex, where he went to Earls Hall Primary School and Cecil Jones Secondary School, now Cecil Jones College. He started dancing classes in a church hall in Southend and took part in school competitions and other competitions in Chelmsford.
By the age of ten, he was winning most competitions and a judge suggested that he entered more challenging competitions.
Cutler took ballroom lessons in Birmingham and Latin classes in Hendon and took part in open competitions, supported by his parents. He won the World Amateur Championship with his then-wife Nicole Cutler in 1999 and went on to win many other competitions. They were later divorced in 2003 and went on to work with different professional partners, reuniting in 2006 and in October 2009, the Cutlers started the Semley Club Dance Academy in Norbury, UK where they teach dance.
