WATCH: Ex-Strictly star Flavia Cacace joins event in aid of Highland Hospice

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace will be the guest judge at next year's Strictly Inverness charity competition.

The 41-year-old Italian professional dancer will be joined by her husband, actor and previous BBC Strictly contestant Jimi Mistry.

The annual contest – which was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic – generates funds for Highland Hospice and Inverness Ice Centre, which will stage the event in May.

A hospice spokesman said: "We are delighted that the lovely Flavia Cacace will be joining us as a judge at our Grand Finale on Saturday, May 21, along with her husband – the talented actor and previous Strictly contestant Jimi Mistry.

"It will be a delight to introduce Flavia and Jimi to Inverness next year, and we look forward to delivering a safe and exciting event."

Tickets will be on sale on March.
