Strictly’s Fleur East reveals pre-show ritual centred around late father
The singer's family are an important part of her pre-show ritual.
The Strictly Come Dancing 2022 contestants will soon be donning some scary costumes and dancing to some spooky tunes for Halloween Week. Most of them, anyway.
Rather surprisingly, singer Fleur East and pro partner Vito Coppola have opted to salsa to Beyoncé's Break My Soul. Whether they Halloween-ify it or not remains to be seen, but Fleur will surely be hoping to impress the judges for the third time in a row since being in the bottom two in Week Three's Strictly leaderboard.
Luckily, she has a pre-show ritual that helps ground her before taking to the dance floor to help with that.
"I have a ring that I wear," she told RadioTimes.com during an exclusive chat. "It's a special ring that me and my sister got made from my father's ring after he passed away. So that's one ritual that I have, is that I always have to like, just touch my ring on my finger just before we perform."
But that's not Fleur's only pre-show ritual. She also revealed that seeing her family is also a big deal.
"I have to see my family, that's a big one. I have to spot them in the crowd," she explained.
Here's hoping it brings her luck tonight.
