BBC Strictly's Fleur East fights tears as she receives landmark score

Pop star Fleur East has become the first 2022 Strictly Come Dancing contestant to score full marks on the show. She impressed all the judges with her couple's choice dance to a megamix of Destiny's Child songs.

Fleur wowed the viewers and the judges and achieved the first highest score of the series. Before the dance, Fleur spoke about how proud her dad, who has passed away, would be of her.

Bringing out his favourite catchphrase judge Craig Revel Horwood said "One word. Three syllables. Beginning with f. Fab-U-lous!" and both Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse gave Fleur a standing ovation. Motsi joked that Destiny's Child had gained a new member in Fleur, adding: "That was amazing! You are wonderful!"
