Fleur East has broken her silence after Strictly Come Dancing fans were left gobsmacked at seeing her in the dreaded dance-off on Sunday night. During the live show on Saturday, the Hits Radio host and her professional partner Vito Coppola took to the ballroom floor with their The Little Mermaid-inspired routine.
The dancing couple performed an American Smooth to Part Of Your World and scored a more than respectable 29. At the time, Fleur, 34, said the Disney film was one of her favourites, adding: "This was a childhood dream for me." However, despite their good place on the leaderboard, Fleur and Vito found the red light of doom landed on them.
They had to perform their romantic routine again in a bid to keep their place in the BBC One dance competition, going up against Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice. The BBC Radio 2 star and the Italian pro reprised their samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King dressed as Timon and Pumbaa.
