Hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing is reportedly on the brink of chaos, after it was announced that four stars have been left 'very very ill'.
Fleur East shared the news on her Planet Radio show yesterday.
Explaining the situation, she said: "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 that 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," before continuing: "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."
Fleur then went on to add: "In the end we got about six hours together before production rehearsal on Friday. But I think when you have that added pressure you just pull it out from somewhere.
"We were both like right we were in the dance off last week, we need to just get this done. He was sweating and everything but somehow, we pulled it together!"
