Strictly Come Dancing has welcomed back two of its legendary professional dancers for a special segment on It Takes Two, where they look back on their history on the BBC show. Former couple and professional partners Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone appeared on It Takes Two tonight, where they opened up about their time on the show.

Vincent and Flavia both joined Strictly in 2006 and stayed on the show for six years. They joined Strictly as both romantic and professional partners, however they eventually split in 2007. Vincent later married wife Susan Duddy in 2015 before divorcing three years later, while Flavia has been married to ex-contestant Jimi Mistry since 2013.

The former couple last appeared together on an episode of The Generation Game in 2018, and they recently reconciled on It Takes Two tonight. Vincent apologised to the audience, “Oh my goodness, I haven’t seen Flavia in a while.” It’ll be lovely to see her once more. It will be nice to catch up and reflect on the wonderful memories we had.

The pair looked back at their 2005 television performance, Strictly Dance Fever. They were hired by Strictly to choreograph an Argentine Tango piece that had never before been performed on the stage.

When Bruce first introduced us, Vincent said, “They are my favorite couple,” while Flavia said, “He used to say that about everyone, but I do believe it was his favorite dance.”

The duo continued performing together for nine years after splitting up with Strictly in 2012. Flavia last appeared on It Takes Two back in Choreography Corner in 2021, while Vincent later made a comeback as a choreographer for Argentine Tangos.

On the program, Vincent said, “Me and you left a legacy. Can you send me my dance shoes, Flavia asked?

Prior to winning with gymnast Louis Smith in 2012, Flavia placed second with Matt Di Angelo, whom she dated for three years. Vincent also placed second behind Dani Harmer and Rachel Stevens in the 2008 season, before ending his run on the show in fourth place.

Flavia is now married to Jimi Mistry, with the pair living on a seven-acre farm in Devon. They now sell fresh produce from their farm and run a bakery.

After moving to Lorraine, she said, “I just needed a break. I never retired.

When Vincent and I started touring, we would play seven or eight shows each week in each venue. “I toured for eight years. I stopped doing that eight years ago because I was exhausted.

On BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two will air starting at 6 30pm tomorrow.

I’m a Celeb star Aitch ’s beloved sister has secretly flown to Australia for an emotional reunion. The rapper’s family has arrived Down Under in the last 24 hours in a boost to the star, whose manager was the only person isupporting him so far in person.

And Gracie was seen today at the celebrity hotel as ITV filmed the arrival of Kelly Brook after she became the fourth person to be evicted from the jungle. She was filmed chatting to Kelly, who told her: “I have heard so much about you…can I have a hug.”

We recently heard your song, she continued. It was fantastic. Your brother is truly in your heart. You must have a crush on him, I bet you. Aitch has a close relationship with his two twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, both of whom are 16 years his junior, and Gracie, who has Down’s Syndrome, in particular, has a significant influence on his life.

He has dedicated his hit track My G to Gracie, with all the funds generated from the donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association. On Tuesday night’s show he sang the song – sparking fans to say he should win.

A fan wrote on X that “Aitch must win.” One commentator called him “such a lovely man” and “bet Aitch’s sisters are so proud of him right now.” A third person expressed her love for Aitch so much. The song touched Aitch’s campmates, who were listening. In particular, Ruby Wax acknowledged that her emotional state had been affected by the performance.

Aitch has opened up in camp to Eddie about the close bond he has with his sisters, particularly Gracie. Talking about how Gracie was born with Down Syndrome, he explained how she loved watching Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing, telling him when Ellie came on screen: “She’s one of God’s special children like me.”

Aitch made it known prior to his show appearance that he would be traveling to the Australian jungle to raise awareness of those with Down syndrome. He continued, “I’m doing it for people all over as well as for people with Down syndrome.” If someone discovers that someone in the family has Down syndrome, I don’t want anyone to feel upset or upset. It is a blessing.

As long as you spend it with that person, you’re going to have the most enjoyable time of your life. Really and truly, my main concern is that I don’t want Down syndrome to be perceived as a negative trait. I don’t want anyone to go through the same stages as my sister or my child, who both have Down syndrome.
