Strictly Come Dancing stars bring brand new show to Newcastle Tuesday 26th May 2020

Join Strictly Come Dancing stars Ian Waite and Vincent Simone as they bring their wonderful old-fashioned variety show with dance, comedy and song, to Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Tuesday 26th May 2020.

‘Ian Waite and Vincent Simone – Act Two’ follows the roaring success of The Ballroom Boys’ 2019 show.…

  Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace Tango Moderno at Oxford’s New Theatre, is simply great! It’s a great piece of family entertainment for all ages. It reminds me of the music and dance shows based on the particular theme, so sadly no more broadcast on TV. This show was packed full of irony, humour and social comment and was greeted by an audience of all ages with great enthusiasm. The message of…

If anyone knows about the ‘Curse of Strictly’, it’s 36-year-old ballroom star Flavia Cacace.

The Italian dancer, who left the show back in 2013, famously waltzed off with EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo when they were paired together on the show in 2007.

All very romantic – except that Flavia was already in a relationship with suave co-star Vincent Simone at the time. Awkward.

“Yes, it was a disaster,” Flavia told The Sunday Telegraph. “It all happened in the most atrocious way. My relationship with Matt was really hyped up, which was very painful for Vincent.

“But you have to understand, everything in my life had been about dance. I’d lived in a bubble. I was 27 when I started on Strictly. I had never been to London on my own. I had never been on an aeroplane.”

And she’d never seen EastEnders, presumably.

The fallout from the on-screen affair didn’t put Flavia off, though. The Strictly curse struck AGAIN in 2010 when she fell for East Is East actor Jimi Mistry. This time there was a happy ending, and the pair later married in 2013.

So the secret behind the Curse of Strictly? A shed-load of pent-up sexual frustrations and the novelty of being lavished with attention, according to the Neopolitan star. Ew.

“I think [Strictly] sends the celebrities mad,” Flavia explains. “Some people can’t handle all that physical closeness. They fall in love with this dream, this fantasy. Our job is to make them the centre of attention.

“It’s very addictive and it goes to some people’s heads,” she continued.
