Sunday’s Strictly Come Dancing saw former X Factor star Fleur East and her pro partner Vito Coppola at risk of being booted from the BBC dance competition. Luckily for the pair, it was Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice who became the second couple to leave the series. Despite this, Fleur has shared her surprise at being in the bottom two in the first place.
"I couldn't believe it," Fleur said on her Hits Radio Breakfast Show. "Of course, you know someone is going to be called but as soon as you hear your name it's like, 'Oh no'.”
The singer and radio presenter, 34, added: “There was so much technique in my dance and three terrifying lifts, and I remember after I'd danced on Saturday I was like, 'Phew, done it now, I can relax a little bit and think about the next dance'. But as soon as I knew I was in the bottom two, I thought, 'Oh no I've got to do it again. I've got to do all those lifts again. And with added pressure!' So, I was very nervous; very, very nervous."
