Fleur East was thinking of her late father before her latest performance on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Fleur East has revealed the reasons behind her tears
The 34-year-old pop star has explained why she started "blubbering" before she took to the dance floor alongside her professional partner, Vito Coppola.
Fleur - who also burst into tears after dancing the Viennese Waltz - shared: "All day I was trying to make sure I found the right emotion for this dance as I was really worried about going on there, being quite blank and empty and just doing the steps. I really wanted to commit to it.
"But just before we danced, I went to see my family who were sitting in the audience and my Uncle Sean lifted his arm to show me his wrist - and he was wearing my Dad’s bracelet. He didn’t even say anything to me, just showed it to me and that set me off.
"It was just seconds before I performed and with everything else and just being nervous, I started crying, blubbering!"
Fleur admits to being totally overwhelmed by the moment.
The singer - who starred on 'The X Factor' in 2014 - said on 'The Hits Radio Breakfast Show': "In rehearsals I have never acted that way before and as soon as I faced Vito in the dance for the first time he looked at me and his eyes were like ‘oh my gosh she’s crying’ and then immediately he got more into the emotion of it and we were both just really overwhelmed by the end of it."
Kaye Adams became the first celebrity to leave 'Strictly' over the weekend.
But Fleur admits that the experience was "agonising".
She said: "The wait to find out the results is agonising I had to sit around and pray. It was tricky to even go to the loo as my dress was stitched to my underwear!
"I’m going to miss Kaye, honestly, I was so sad on Sunday but she’s still in the WhatsApp group and will be in until the end!"
