Fleur East has spoken out about the impact of flu on this year's stars of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. She said four stars have been left "very very ill", as she shared the latest update on her radio show today.
The radio host explained: "There were a few mentions on Saturday night, but it was a tough week for a lot of people in the competition", Birmingham Live reports. She continued: "Hamza [Yassin] was very, very sick, so was Will [Mellor] and so was Kym [Marsh] and we didn’t say anything on Saturday but Vito [Coppola] was really ill last week too. I got one full day of rehearsal with him."
She added: "Everyone was getting the flu! So, he was out for the count and in bed - he didn’t move for two days." She continued: "I started freaking out on Thursday because I was like oh my gosh, I’ve had to practice with someone else. And as soon as Vito did make it to rehearsals, he was a different height, had a different stance – it was like a brand-new routine I had to learn."
