Fleur East is being tipped to the the victim of a 'cruel' Strictly Come Dancing twist, with her being favourite to get the boot this weekend, just a week after she topped the leaderboard.
As soon as the line-up for the new series of Strictly was confirmed, both fans and bookies earmarked Fleur was the one to beat, with her immediately installed as favourite to win. However, after she and pro partner Vito Coppola were left in the shadow of Will Mellor and Hamza Yassin after their amazing week one performances, Fleur slipped down the odds, just as viewers were accusing the judges of 'undermarking' her , taking aim at head judge Shirley Ballas.
Fleur and Vito also had to deal with the blow of being in the dreaded dance-off twice but, were left smiling from ear to ear after their samba last weekend to Arrow classic Hot, Hot, Hot. The couple burned up the dancefloor with their red hot routine which left judge Motsi Mabuse in tears as she told Fleur: "I'm so proud of you right now. I'm so, so proud of you."
