From Strictly to Sanctuary – Flavia’s day out with the donkeys

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace quickstepped her way back to The Donkey Sanctuary recently when she spent the day at its Sidmouth site.

The Donkey Sanctuary was thrilled to welcome back the professional dancer and animal advocate to spend time meeting some of the charity’s long-eared residents and to learn more about its important work caring for donkeys, both in the UK and around the world.

Flavia first visited the sanctuary in March 2023 with her husband, actor Jimi Mistry, as part of a birthday celebration. The couple described the experience as “amazing” and “the

perfect day out.”

Since that visit, Flavia has continued to show her support by engaging with The Donkey Sanctuary’s social media posts, including one that was shared on International Day of Friendship, when she highlighted the importance of donkey pair bonds. Inspired by her ongoing interest in the charity’s work, she was invited for a behind-the-scenes look.
