Strictly's Fleur East helped Vito overcome hygiene problem with 'interesting' gift

Fleur East revealed that she helped her Strictly dance partner overcome an embarrassing problem.

The BBC dance show competitors appeared together on Good Morning Britain to talk to entertainment editor Richard Arnold. While on there, it was revealed that dance professional Vito Coppola received some "rather interesting" gifts from the singer for his birthday last week.

Richard asked about the deodorant and washing detergent that she had gifted to Vito. The dancer burst out laughing as he said: "Really I don't understand the present because I said to her is it for the clothes to smell nice or was it a nice way from her to say that I don't smell good?"

Fleur added: "Let's just say it like this. We're in rehearsals every day. He's sweating, he smells. Let's just leave it there. It was a selfish present really."

On Wednesday's Hits Radio Breakfast show, Fleur explained further. She said: "He’s been washing his clothes every day and coming to rehearsal and saying ‘they smell really bad’. So for his 30th birthday yesterday, I bought him some really bougie [middle class] washing detergent.

"I know it’s very practical but all he’s doing all day is dancing and sweating. So what better gift than washing detergent and fabric conditioner?"
