To dance the tango well,\u2019 declares Vincent Simone with a flash of his dark eyes, \u2018you need to have loved and suffered.\u2019 His partner Flavia Cacace gives a sultry smile in agreement. \u2018It\u2019s all about passion, pain, jealousy \u2014 and betrayal,\u2019 she adds.<\/p>\n

And they should know. For the couple \u2014 who have wowed viewers with their sizzling-hot Argentine tango routines through five series of Strictly Come Dancing \u2014 have found their personal lives turned upside down by their tangled emotions.<\/p>\n

They began on Strictly as a couple who had lived and danced together for 11 years, becoming world tango champions.<\/p>\n

\"Passion:<\/p>\n

Passion: Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone wowed viewers with their sizzling-hot Argentine tango routines through five series of Strictly Come Dancing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then they broke up and Flavia fell in love with her celebrity partner in the 2007 series, former EastEnders actor Matt di Angelo.<\/p>\n

The distraught Vincent \u2014 who calls himself the Italian Stallion \u2014 found someone else, and he and his new girlfriend Susan Duddy have a baby son. However, there was a bit of a blip when it was revealed that Vincent had been having an affair with fellow Strictly professional dancer Kristina Rihanoff.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he and Flavia continued to dance together professionally.<\/p>\n

Now Flavia and Matt are no longer an item, but she and actor Jimi Mistry \u2014 with whom she was paired in Strictly\u2019s 2010 series \u2014 are romantically involved, in spite of her resolve not to fall in love with another partner on the show.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month Flavia and Vincent began a UK tango tour together, which every night puts them in each other\u2019s arms, entwines their legs and throws them into passionate on-stage kisses.<\/p>\n

Their on-stage chemistry sizzles, and, as word spreads, some theatres are reporting that Midnight Tango \u2014 which matches them with ten of the world\u2019s finest dancers \u2014 is their fastest selling show of 2011.<\/p>\n

So how does it work between them? Is it possible to divorce yourself from the steamy clinches, ignore your passionate history and remain detached while performing the world\u2019s sexiest dance?<\/p>\n

\n

Partners: Flavia gets close and personal with new beau Jimi Mistry after breaking up with old flame Matt di Angelo, right<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Flavia, 32, says: \u2018We love each other and care for each other more than anything, but we became more like brother and sister. We\u2019d achieved all we\u2019d set out to in competitive dancing, but there was something missing.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I had tunnel vision. You would have had to hit me over the head with a hammer before I\u2019d have seen anything was wrong with our relationship.\u2019<\/p>\n

Vincent, also 33, admits he had been jealous of who she might be partnered with when they signed up to Strictly in 2006. That first year, though, Flavia was paired with Jimmy Tarbuck, whom the Italian Stallion decided was no threat.<\/p>\n

The following year, his great fear was the darkly brooding Welsh TV presenter Gethin Jones, so Vincent was relieved when she was paired with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
