Fleur East has been announced as the new host of Strictly Come Dancing ’s companion show It Takes Two.The former contestant and star on the BBC One competition beamed as she arrived in the studio on Friday night’s episode of The One Show. "It's a lot to take in isn't it. How did you feel when the call came?" presenter Alex Jones asked.
"I couldn't believe it, I still can't believe it in some ways," Fleur grinned excitedly. "I was with my husband, we were away, and I got a call from my agent. I was like 'why am I getting a call now, this is weird, this is fishy.' "She started doing all the pleasantries, and then moments later she was like 'you've got It Takes Two'.
And I could not believe it." The star went on to say there was "no inkling" before she went away she'd managed to nab the incredible role, and joked it was the "worst thing ever" trying to keep the secret. "I was walking around just trying to forget about it, but the funniest thing was the social video, I tried to get the biggest boots I could find. And speaking of, with Rylan gone, I have some big boots to fill," the star added with a laugh.
Earlier in the day, the BBC had posted a sneak-peek video on the station’s official Twitter account showing a pair of white boots dancing some steps ahead of the announcement. "Who’s ready to rumba as the new host of #Strictly It Takes Two?" the caption read. "Watch @BBCTheOneShow tonight from 7pm on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer to find out!" The announcement follows Rylan Clark's decision to step down as host of It Takes Two after four years.
