Book description
Still Got It, Never Lost It! tells the story of Louie Spence, star of
Pineapple Dance Studios and ruthless judge on Dancing on Ice.
'I did everything my sisters did, that's how my dancing days started -
they went dancing, I went dancing and I just kept on dancing.' - Louie Spence
From a very early age Louie was a little boy who loved to dance and had
high ambitions. He attended every disco dance class he could and
excelled each time, with the constant support of his Mum and Dad. Before
long Louie's blue leotard had become a mainstay of the family home, and
soon enough he was accepted into the Italia Conti School of Theatre
Arts. And he never looked back.
From dancing on the Spice Girls World Tour to becoming BFFs with Emma
Bunton and hanging out with Take That (not to mention his performances
in Cats and Miss Saigon), Louie lived out his dreams. Now a TV
personality in his own right, a judge on Dancing on Ice, the star of
Pineapple Dance Studios and his own series Showbusiness, he has become a
much-loved household name.
This hilarious, warm and compellingly-written autobiography takes us
back to Louie's early days in Essex, with a cast of characters that
includes Nanny Lock (who lived down the Enfield lock), Nanny Twinkle and
Nanny Downer (with whom Louie, as a kid, would swipe cans of Special
Brew). Still Got It, Never Lost It! is the story of the real-life Billy
Elliot - a tale that proves nothing can stop you when you think big and
hold on to your dreams. 'Like chatting to your mad mate who's obsessed
with gossip and boys. ****' Heat Louie Spence, one of the country's
most hilarious celebrities and talented dancers, is currently a judge on
Dancing On Ice. Louie got his big break dancing in the award-winning
production of Miss Saigon and went on to star in Cats. But his talent
took him to even higher levels, and he was soon sharing a stage with the
Spice Girls and Take That. He became the star of the documentary series
Pineapple Dance Studios and its follow-up Louie Spence's Showbusiness.
Louie was born in Ponders End and raised in Braintree, Essex. He lives
with his partner in London.
