Fleur East has revealed her instant reaction to finding herself in the dreaded Strictly dance off over the weekend. The X Factor star found herself in the bottom two on the Strictly Come Dancing result show on Sunday night, and she had to face fellow fan favourite Richie Anderson to keep her place in the BBC competition. Appearing on her own Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Monday, she admitted she was stunned when her name was called out.
She said: ‘I couldn’t believe it. Of course, you know someone is going to be called but as soon as you hear your name it’s like “oh no”. ‘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.
’She admitted her professional dance partner Vito Coppola helped her focus on the ‘positive’ by pointing out she’d ‘get to be Ariel again’, with her American smooth routine set to Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. ‘Vito just looked at me and said, ‘well you get to be Ariel again’ and it is an amazing dance to dance, so it’s really cool that I got to do it again and I guess that’s what I’m going to take as a positive,’ she explained. ‘I’m so happy and grateful that the judges saved us as I’m not ready to stop dancing with Vito.
