Strictly Come Dancing's Vito Coppola blames Fleur dance-off drama on 'nasty fall' after 'fix' claims

Vito Coppola has blamed his and Fleur East's Strictly dance-off drama on a 'nasty fall' after it emerged that they were given a chance to start their routine again.

Fleur and Vito ended up in the dance-off alongside James Bye and Amy Dowden, with millions of viewers who tuned into Sunday's Strictly results show, seeing EastEnders star James sent home from the competition, after all four judges opted to save Fleur and Vito.
