Flavia & Vincent preview the new Strictly (VIDEO)
Strictly Come Dancing professionals Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone promise the next series will be bigger and feature more dancing than ever before. Flavia told whatsontv.co.uk: "With any programme you need to evolve. You need to keep it fresh and new and interesting. That's why Strictly's been so popular for so many years. Each year there's been something new, something interesting for the audience to look at. "This year's going to be bigger and better, we've got more professional dancers... Obviously people love the pro dancers, the group numbers we do together, and there's going to be a lot more of that this year, more spectacular." Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC1 in September.
