Early life
Whiddon started dancing at the age of seven. His mother encouraged him and he trained in a wide range of styles including Ballroom, Latin-American, Jazz, Tap, Ballet and Hip Hop. At the age of 15 he represented Australia at the Junior British Championships, reaching the open final. In 2005 he competed as a Latin dancer with partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Two years later he joined the cast of Burn the Floor. In his second tour with the show he became lead dancer and later served as Dance Captain and Company Manager.
Whiddon has also appeared as a professional dancer on Australia's Dancing with the Stars and has choreographed for two seasons of So You Think You Can Dance Australia, alongside his Slovenian wife Gordana Grandosek, who he met in 2008 when they became dance partners and Australian Professional Ten Dance Champions.

On 6 August 2014 it was announced that Robin Windsor would not be competing as a professional in series 12 of the show, due to back injury, and he was replaced by Whiddon. He was partnered with singer Pixie Lott. The couple left the show in week 11, competing in the dance-off against Simon Webbe and Kristina Rihanoff, and eliminated on the casting vote of head judge Len Goodman. On 23 April 2015 it was announced that Whiddon would not be returning for Series 13 of Strictly.
