Anyone fancy a Midnight Tango with Vincent and Flavia?

I was cheered last night to read that Strictly Pros and Argentine Tango specialists Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace are touring the UK from the beginning of April to the end of July next year with what seems to be a very sensuous and sultry show called Midnight Tango.

Midnight Tango is set in a late-night bar in downtown Buenos Aires. Vincent and Flavia will be joined by ten of the finest Tango dancers in the world, and, between them, they will take the audience on a journey into the heart of this intoxicating city, as danger and excitement, joy and jealousy, pain and passion combine into a spectacular and explosive evening.

Anyone who has ever been captivated by Vincent and Flavia's spellbinding dances on Strictly will I'm sure love them dancing live on stage. The performances I'm in interested in are in Edinburgh from 28th June to 2nd July, and in Glasgow from 26th-30th July. I'll definitely go along to one of them.

The site also has clips of some of the couple's Strictly highlights, just to give you a wee taster of what to expect.

Jimi and Flavia on BBC Breakfast

One good thing about this time of year is that you get Bill Turnbull talking to Strictly stars on BBC Breakfast on a  Monday morning.

The competition hasn't started yet, but Jimi Mistry and Flavia Cacace called in this morning to talk about Saturday night's show.

Flavia revealed that the wire she and Vincent made their dramatic entrance on on Saturday night was very painful, but it had been something they wanted to do for a while. She says dancers view the floor as their best friend, and when you suddenly don't have that any more, you feel like you have no stability.

She also said that the partnership everyone's talking about, of former Tory minister Ann Widdecombe, and Anton Du Beke, was going to be incredibly entertaining.

Despite the new professional dance troupe, the professionals who are mentoring celebrities will be doing at least one routine as there's more time available in the show now that the dreaded dance off has gone.

Jimi seemed to be looking forward to the experience, saying that he was looking forward to the challenge of learning to dance.
