Fleur East was left in tears as her Hits Radio colleagues pulled out a special surprise as she hosted her latest show live from Blackpool ahead of performing in the iconic Tower Ballroom on Strictly Come Dancing over the weekend. The singer and broadcaster will be taking to the floor on Saturday night as the show returns to the seaside resort for the first time in three years.
As she hosted the Hits Radio breakfast show live from Madame Tussauds Blackpool, Fleur's co-stars James Barr and Matt Haslam went the extra mile and organised a very special fly past as part of their Vote Fleur campaign.
The former X Factor star was blindfolded and taken out to the Blackpool promenade where Fleur had no idea what she was about to see. As she was unmasked, she spotted the banner hanging from the back of a plane with a message which read: "Hits Radio Vote Fleur on Strictly."
