STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses have defended Fleur East after she was allowed to re-record her dance for Sunday night’s results show.
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing have said the show is a “fix” following the news that Fleur East was allowed to have a second chance following “an incident with a prop”.
A source said: “A few of the other stars backstage were pretty stunned. It’s not exactly a live performance if stars get to have another crack of the whip.”
A BBC spokesperson said the show had been stopped “as a matter of urgency”, adding: “After an incident with a prop at the beginning of Fleur and Vito’s dance-off performance, the decision was made to halt proceedings to check they were not injured, as a matter of urgency,” the spokesperson said.
“As they had not begun to dance before the incident occurred, it was decided they could start the performance again, once it was confirmed they were fit to do so.”
