Strictly's Fleur East says she 'wasn't surprised' to be in last weekend's dance-off for a third time

After finding herself in a tense dance-off at the weekend, Strictly Come Dancing star Fleur East has admitted that she "expected"s to find herself in the predicament - as the competition on the BBC tournament grows stronger and stronger.

While the 35-year-old radio presenter and her dance partner, Vito Coppola, were awarded a decent 35 out of 40 from judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke for their Rumba to Too Lost in You by the Sugababes, the public vote meant the duo were pitted up against Ellie Taylor and Johannes Radebe.

And while their reprisal of the dance a second time round was enough to keep them in the competition, Fleur admitted that she was unsurprised to find herself dancing for her place for a third time, despite landing a perfect 40 out of 40 one week prior.
