EXCLUSIVE: Training Video: Edwina Currie and Vincent Simone
We're into the third day of our exclusive training videos. Today it's the turn of Edwina Currie and Vincent Simone, although Edwina thought she had bagged Artem during the Launch show.
Will the former MP be as attached to Vincent as she was to Artem? And will Vincent be able to Cha Cha change Edwina into a dancing machine?

On a serious note, Vincent's not going to be able to lift Edwina without a harness. Russell has a bad back, so Flavia won't be needing any oxygen this year, whereas poor Lulu will be thrown skyward at every opportunity.
Was it a bird, was it a plane.........?

I think Vincent's magic already working and Edwina looks younger and sexier than I've seen her in years. What is it about Vincent and middle aged women? I can only think of Gino D'Campo. The secret of Italian men is "minimum effort and maximum satisfaction". Ooh ah!
