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.
Just weeks after Sax singer Fleur unexpectedly fell into the bottom two for the first time, despite scoring well with the judges, the former X Factor finalist and partner Vito found themselves in the drop zone again, having finished in the 'cursed' position of middle of their leaderboard for their Halloween Week salsa to Beyonce's Break My Soul.
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. However, what fans at home didn't see was that Fleur and Vito got to perform their routine again, after a fall at the start of their first try.
