Former Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace and husband Jimi Mistry swap showbiz for a life in the country as they give fans a glimpse into their farm home
Former Strictly star Flavia Cacace has swapped the ballroom for a barn, and has given fans a look into her rural life with husband Jimi Mistry.
The professional dancer, 41, and the actor, 48, keep their fans up-to-date on their farm home via a dedicated Instagram page called Our Life At The Barn.
Flavia and Jimi appear to have taken a step back from the showbiz world in order to enjoy a slower pace of life in North Devon.

Gushing about the project, Flavia and Jimi's social media account urges fans to follow them 'on our life changing journey as we move to the country and follow our self sustainable dream'.
They have shared a number of fun pictures and videos at the location, including one that sees Flavia sow wild flowers and dig up weeds.
In another update, Jimi can be seen enjoying a ride on a lawn mower that he used to cut the grass on their expansive property.
Other tasks they have undertaken also include growing their own vegetables which they happily showed off after a successful harvest, and also taking care of sheep.

Flavia first moved to the UK when she was four-years-old, and she began ballroom dancing at the age of six when her mother urged her and her siblings to take up a hobby.
She appeared as a professional dancer on Strictly from 2006 until 2012, alongside her professional partner Vincent Simone, with whom she was previously in a long-term relationship.
Their 11-year romance came to an end in 2007 when Cacace embarked on a relationship with her Strictly partner Matt Di Angelo.

Sustainable: Flavia and Jimi do their own gardening and even make compost at their farm
Flavia met Jimi, who has starred in shows like EastEnders and Coronation Street, when they were partnered on the show in 2010, and they wed in 2013.
When asked about the Strictly curse in 2018, Flavia told Hello! magazine: 'I'd love to say a witch cast a spell on it but it just isn't true.
'People push themselves out of their comfort zones and do drastic things so that they can move on.
'They need something to punch them in the face and snap them out of their regular lives. If they were in a happy place, they wouldn't let that happen.'
