Fleur East has said she is “not going to lose her power” — despite being told to control it by judges during her time on Strictly Come Dancing. The singer and radio DJ, 35, has delivered a number of standout performances on the BBC show, including receiving the only perfect 40 score of the whole 2022 series.
She will now compete against three other couples in the show’s grand finale on Saturday for the coveted glitterball trophy with her professional dance partner Vito Coppola. Reflecting on the judges’ comments on her "power" during the competition, she said: “I mean, I didn’t even know about this power until I came to Strictly. I’ve never heard the word so many times.
“I just think it’s something that gets me through life. I’ve faced so many challenges — losing my dad was the biggest challenge. Strictly is probably a close second to that. My power, I guess, is what gets me through, it’s like my superpower.
