Strictly Struck By Another Fix Series As Fleur East Given Permission To Re Give Her Dance Performance

The X Factor singer, 35, and her professional partner Vito Coppola faced off against EastEnders star James Bye, 38, and Amy Dowden in Sunday’s dreaded dance-off, with the actor ultimately sent home. However, it has since been claimed that Fleur has resumed her dance after a horrific fall which saw her ‘crash’ into her partner, with the moment not shown or mentioned in the results show. Drama: Strictly Come Dancing could face another potential fix series as it emerged that Fleur East was allowed to reprise her dance performance after falling. The Sun reports that the sax artist fell over her prop and took down her dance partner during Salsa to Break My Soul by Beyoncé, with the decision to allow them to start again once they have been checked by doctors. A source said: “It was a very unfortunate incident, and it wasn’t Flair or Vito’s fault at all. About five seconds later, when he was about to pull Vito into the reclining chair, the legs slipped. “It collapsed, destroyed Vito too. They landed incredibly hard – it was quite shocking and the audience gasped. Poor Flair looked stunned and devastated and no one really knew what was going on on or off stage. “Eventually the warm-up guy came in and spoke to the crowd while Fleur and Vito checked out. They started their dance again and apparently this second version was the one that went on the air. There was no mention of the fall even by the judges.’ Close call: The X Factor singer, 35, and her professional partner Vito Coppola took on EastEnders star James Bye, 38, and Amy Dowden in Sunday’s dreaded dance-off, with the actor ultimately sent home The source added to the publication that competitor James was “not fazed at all” by Flair’s second chance and that he “honestly believed” it was the best dance of the night. However, the rest of the contestants backstage were said to be “quite surprised” by what had happened, with insiders adding that “it’s not exactly a live show” if the stars are allowed “another crack of the whip”. MailOnline has contacted Strictly Come Dancing representatives for comment. A BBC spokesperson told The Sun: “Following an incident with a prop at the start of Fleur and Vito’s dance performance, the decision was made to stop proceedings to check they were not injured. Oh no: However, it has since been claimed that Flair has resumed her dance after a horrific fall which saw her ‘crash’ on top of her partner, with the moment not shown or mentioned on the show’s aftermath Accident: The sax-maker fell over her stage and took down her dance partner during Beyoncé’s Salsa to Break My Soul, with the decision to allow them to start again once they were checked by doctors “As they had not started dancing before the incident occurred, it was decided that they could resume the performance once it was confirmed that they were fit to do so.” After both couples danced a second time through the Halloween special, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave their verdicts, with all four opting to save Fleur. It comes after Fleur was last month embroiled in a sexism row involving head judge Shirley Ballas, with Fleur stepping in to defend the Latin queen. Nice: The source added to the publication that contestant James was ‘not fazed at all’ by Flair’s second chance and that he ‘honestly thought’ it was the best dance of the night The TV judge, 62, revealed during the show’s second dance that she would have chosen to save radio star Richie Anderson from the singer, despite Fleur being better rated for her performance. And in the wake of Shirley facing a barrage of criticism for her choice and alleged “sexist” comments on the show, Fleur has come to her defense, calling the backlash “really unfair”. The former X Factor star spoke of her shock at the criticism Shirley faced, adding that she had the “ultimate respect” for her and the other judges. Relief: After both couples danced a second time, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave their verdicts, with all four opting to save Fleur. Alongside claims that she favors male contestants on the show, Shirley has been accused of having ‘favorites whether they have ability or not’, with many claiming that Fleur was the superior dancer to Richie. She was also attacked for making sexist comments about male contestants after describing Will Mellor as ‘easy on the eye’. Fans have since defended the TV personality against the ‘uber woke’ brigade, pointing out that her role on the show is to be a judge and critique to help celebrities improve. The remaining ten couples will take to the dance floor when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 5 November at 7pm, with the results shown on Sunday 6 November at 7.15pm on BBC One.
