There were tears on the dancefloor as singer and radio presenter Fleur East was overcome with emotion as Strictly Come Dancing returned for its second week of stellar performances. Fleur, who presents the breakfast show on Manchester's Hits Radio, glided across the dancefloor with her professional dance partner Vito Coppola.
They performed the Viennese waltz to Glimpse Of Us by Joji, and singer and rapper Fleur teared-up as the dance drew to an end and Vito pulled her in for a comforting hug. Strictly host Tess Daly commented: "That was dreamy."
Spotting that Fleur, 34, was in tears she paused proceedings to check she was okay. Before heading over to the judges to receive their critiques as usual, she asked her: "You alright Fleur?"

She said soothingly as they made their way over to the panel: "You were feeling all the emotions weren't you my darling? You shed a little tear. Oh sweetheart." After the judges delivered their verdicts and Fleur made her way up the stairs to meet Claudia Winkleman and her fellow contestants, Tess urged her gently: "Get a tissue my love."
Claudia greeted her sympathetically, saying: "It got to you." "It really did. Yeah I'm tired," said Fleur, who is rising at 4am to present the breakfast show.
Explaining what had happened she said: "Vito said to me 'make sure you bring the feeling.' I've been building it up." The pair racked up 28 points out of a possible 40, coming fifth on the leaderboard on the second week.
