Fleur East surprised by husband's reaction to 'steamy' BBC Strictly tango with Vito

Strictly Come Dancing star Fleur East laughed as Rylan Clark teased her about her sizzling Argentine Tango at the weekend. After landing in the dreaded dance-off the previous weekend the Sax singer raised pulses with her sultry performance to Paint It Black on Saturday night.

As she was interviewed alongside dance partner Vito Coppola on the Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two, Rylan said their racy dance had him 'sweating.' "Fleur East, you better play that Sax!" he gasped. "I was sweating it was so steamy. I can't even look at the screen."

Fleur, the breakfast show presenter on Manchester's Hits Radio giggled as Rylan said "everybody" was talking about their dance. She said: "I think being in the bottom two was what I needed - I realised how much I want to be here." And Vito said: "I know how much she wants to be in the show, she is giving her best. I can see."

Rylan then raised her husband Marcel Badiane-Robin's 'surprising' reaction to their performance. "There's someone I need to bring up," he said. "Your lovely husbamnd. I was watching that thinking 'oooh bit saucy' but actually he came down to rehearsals and surprised you."

And Fleur told him: "He came in - these two are like buddies - he came in and watched it and went 'more sexy.' I said 'okay I'm going to be dancing it for you then babes.'"

Fleur and Vito scored 38 points out of a possible 40 from the judges for their tango and came in second place on the leaderboard after Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal with 39 points. The pair will be dancing a Jive to Abba's Waterloo this weekend.
