Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East has spoken out about her shock appearance in the dance off over the weekend. Fortunately for the singer and radio presenter, both she and pro dancer Vito Coppola survived to dance another day and it was the turn of Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice to go home.
Chatting to Rylan Clark on Strictly: It Takes Two on Tuesday, October 11, the former X Factor star said: "It was rough being in that dance off. It was awful." She then explained that there were two reasons as to why - firstly, the feeling of relief when she'd finished the dance the first time and secondly, her love for fellow contestant, Richie. On Monday's It Takes Two, Richie broke down in tears as he discussed his time on Strictly. You can read more about that here.
Despite feeling "awful" about having to dance a second time, Fleur did say she was "grateful" to have been in a dance off. "In a lot of ways, I'm actually grateful that we had that experience because it's made me realise how much I want to be here," Fleur added, commenting on how much of a good time she was having on the show.
