Fleur East breaks down in tears as Strictly fan dad won't see her dance on show

Fleur East broke down in tears on live TV today over the thought that her dad won't get to see her dance on Strictly.

The X Factor runner-up, 34, was announced as the twelfth celebrity taking part in the BBC dancing show earlier today. Appearing on Lorraine shortly afterwards, she admitted that she was "nervous" but thrilled to be taking part.

"It's been so many weeks that I've had to keep it a secret," she told host Ranvir Singh. Quizzed on whether she feels the pressure having already had some dance experience by performing in her music videos, she said: "There's too much pressure, I'm so nervous... I can't do ay technical dancing."
