BBC Strictly's Fleur East's husband wanted her steamy tango to be more sexy

On Saturday night, October 15, radio presenter Fleur East and her professional dancing partner Vito Coppola wowed viewers with their incredibly sexy and steamy Argentine Tango on Strictly Come Dancing. However, now Fleur has revealed her husband wanted the dance to be sexier.

Appearing on Strictly: It Takes Two with Vito and alongside host Rylan, Fleur said her husband wanted more from the dance. Fleur is married to French celebrity fashion designer Marcel Badiane-Robin. After Rylan made a fanfare of their entrance to Strictly: It Takes Two, blaming their saucy dance for causing the fire alarm to go off, faking shooing them off the show, and breaking them apart Rylan chatted to Fleur about the dance.

Fleur explained after that moment she was taking to the dance floor and danced the Argentine Tango for her husband while Rylan joked: "You definitely danced it for him!" and previously told the pair he was "sweating" while watching it.

During the dance, the duo oozed chemistry and connection and judge Shirley Ballas described the dance as "sizzling." Shirley said: "It was sizzling. It was like a red hot chilli pepper. It was effortless, it was controlled. It had sensuality beyond, beyond. You are your own musical instrument, you just play your own body beautifully."

Fleur spoke about how it felt to hear the judge's praise. She said: "I couldn't believe it, when they were talking it was almost as if I was sitting at home watching the TV...it was so surreal but it felt amazing."

Many viewers were also impressed with Fleur's dance, some saying 'I think I'm pregnant'. One said: "Fleur and Vito's Argentine Tango was hawwwwwt! This is why we love #Strictly; pure entertainment."
