Strictly star opts for Life at the Barn - Worthing date

It has been a remarkable turn-around for Strictly Come Dancing’s Flavia Cacace-Mistry and her former actor husband Jimi. Now they are hitting the road to talk honestly about their biggest life-changing adventure yet; their move from city living to a small holding in the countryside, all part of their dream to be self-sustainable. Flavia & Jimi: Our Life At The Barn will be at Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre on October 9.

The couple, who document their new venture on their Instagram account @OurLifeAtTheBarn, will share insights into the journey and the bumps and highs along the way.

“We used to live in Guildford,” Flavia says, “ but we always had that dream of moving away and would always be thinking about it whenever we had the day off. We just wanted to be near the coast and somewhere accessible and maybe have animals but we could just never really pinpoint where. I used to holiday in Cornwall but that felt just a tad too far and so we were looking at all sorts of different places but then we put the dream on hold.

“I stopped touring in 2018 and we thought let's start a new business. I did personal training and Jimi did a culinary arts diploma and we decided to put together an online business where people could do fitness and nutrition and motivation.
