BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East and Vito Coppola speak out on 'cover-up' claims on ITV Loose Women

Fleur East and Vito Coppola have broken their silence after being hit by 'cover-up' and 'fix' claims after it emerged they had to restart their Strictly Come Dancing dance-off performance last weekend. The singer and radio host and her Italian dancer partner landed in the bottom two following the show's Halloween special.

Fleur and Vito pulled out all the stops for their energetic salsa routine to Beyonce’s Break My Soul. However, they ended up under the dreaded red light of dance-off doom alongside EastEnders star James Bye and his professional partner Amy Dowden, who finished in the bottom two after their Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker.

Both couples had to re-perform their Saturday night routines and the judges unanimously voted to save Fleur and Vito. However, reports have since claimed that the couple got a second chance at performing the routine after a spectacular fall, causing everybody in the studio to let out a loud gasp in shock.
