Did Matt steal Flavia?

By Jane Murphy

We have to admit: we're very confused with all these post-Strictly Come Dancing romance rumours doing the rounds at the moment.

Last week, we heard finalists Matt Di Angelo and Alisha Dixon had been secretly dating during their time on the show. But now it appears Matt may have been romancing dance partner Flavia Cacace all along...

And how do we know this? Flavia's ex, fellow Strictly star Vincent Simone, has given an emotional interview to The People, in which he accuses Matt of stealing his girlfriend of 13 years.

"I thought we'd be together forever and get married, but now I don't know what's going on," he reveals. "I didn't even want to go to the end-of-show wrap party but I forced myself. When she and Matt went off to cosy up on a sofa in the corner together, that was it."

Vincent claims he took Flavia to one side - and she revealed she had fallen for Matt after all. "She should have told me before and the fact she didn't upset me more," he continues. "I was so angry and upset with her, disappointed too. I'm suffering every single day I'm not with her." Poor old Vincent, eh?

But - hang on! According to today's Daily Mirror, Flavia says her romance with Vincent ended because of his flirting, not because of her relationship with Matt. "She's not denying she's close to Matt, but that's not the real reason they split," says a friend. As we said, it's all very confusing...
