Vito Coppola found himself choking during his latest live performance in an unusual Strictly Come Dancing blunder. The Italian dancer is partnered with Fleur East in the dance contest and the pair were giving it their all in the semi-final on Sunday night.
Judge Anton Du Beke told Hits Radio hos Fleur, 35, that she had had "exactly the night you want to have before a final", as she impressed with her Charleston to Tu Vuo’ Fa L’Americano by Fiorello.
The singer, who trained for 47 hours this week, was praised by her partner Vito who said: "Fleur for me is one of the best person I have ever met in my life. She’s so humble. She doesn’t know but she saved me from my tough period that I had, so thank you. She is so brave but humble, she never says no…she’s so grateful. I am so proud of you."
