Fleur East is taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing to honour her late dad.
The singer, 34, told ED! she’d agreed to take part as a tribute to her beloved father, who was a huge fan of the BBC One dance show.
Fleur admits her dad was such a Strictly addict, he even snuck out to watch the show when his daughter was on The X Factor!

Why is Fleur East taking part on Strictly Come Dancing?
Fleur spoke to us at a press launch for Strictly Come Dancing 2022.
She told us she’s excited for the experience, but there’s an emotional reason for agreeing this year.
She said: “I wanted something to challenge myself.
“But at first, I’ll be honest, I was very dubious because of how daunting the task is.
“And then for me it was more like an emotional connection.”
