Strictly Come Dancing fans reacted in shock as the spotlight fell on two more couples to go head-to-head in the dreaded dance-off on Sunday night (October 8). There was disbelief as singer and Manchester's Hits Radio presenter Fleur East ended up in the dance-off with her professional dance partner Vito Coppolo after the result was calculated through a mix of audience vote and panel scores.
Then the red light of doom shone on BBC Radio 2 presenter Richie Anderson and Strictly reigning champion Giovanni Pernice, who last year lifted the coveted Glitterball with EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis. Viewers were amazed to see former X Factor runner-up Fleur, who was an early favourite to win the BBC dance contest, in this position in week three.
Fans took to Twitter to voice their upset. @strictlyblog gasped: "FLEUR?! It is too early for a shock bottom 2!" @DavidMackayy shouted: "FLEUR IN THE DANCE OFF IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS."
