Vincent Simone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent Simone is a professional dancer born in Italy but moved to England when he was 16 and has since lived in Guildford, Surrey. His professional dancing partner is Flavia Cacace who he met when they were both taking lessons from the same teacher; they were both looking for partners so they decided to have a try-out together and are still dancing together today. The two also teach dancing lessons for beginners to competitors in their spare time.
He has appeared on the fourth series of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing with Louisa Lytton as his celebrity dancing partner for the show. They were knocked out in week 10, scoring 31 out of 40 for their first dance and 28 for the second giving them a total of 59 points which was last position out of the four couples competing. Emma Bunton and Darren Bennett also were in the bottom two with Vincent and Louisa Lytton after the televotes were counted even though that week they were top with the judges.
