Strictly's Fleur East centre of 'fix' claims as dance off 'edited' after fall

Fleur East has found herself at the centre of 'fix' claims on Strictly Come Dancing, after it has emerged that last weekend's dance off was halted after she fell, before she was given the opportunity to perform again and the stumble was 'edited' out.

Former X Factor star Fleur looked gutted when she and pro partner Vito Coppola landed in the bottom two for the second time in just a few weeks as Halloween Week came to an end. The couple had performed a fortune teller inspired salsa to Beyonce's Break My Soul in a bid to note land in the Strictly danger zone but, unfortunately, they fell victim to the 'middle of the leaderboard' curse.

Fleur and Vito landed in the dance-off with EastEnders actor James Bye and his partner Amy Dowden and, after both reprised their dances from earlier, it was James and Amy who were unanimously voted off. As far as viewers at home were concerned, both pairs only performed once but, in reality, that wasn't the case.
