It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara swapped her beautiful brown dress for a basket of baguettes and a biere as she hinted at Fleur East’s dance last week.
The Strictly Come Dancing spin-off host pretended to take a piece of bread as she introduced Fleur and her pro dance partner Vito Coppola, who danced the quickstep, with a French-inspired backdrop consisting of an eiffel tower and baguette shops.
The pair gained the highest score of the night, garnering a whopping 38 from the judges votes.

Taking to Instagram to share her love of the dance, Fleur wrote: “This was such a joy to dance! I loved every second of it.”
As the semi-final looms, fans shred their outrage at the BBC’s change in format confirmed by Strictly presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The semi-final episode will air on Sunday rather than Saturday night, with the results showing the following Monday.
Fleur and Vito are set to dance the Charleston, this time taking on an Italian theme, dancing to the song Tu Vuo’ Fa L’Americano. The pair made it through to the semi final along with Molly Rainford, Will Mellor, Helen Skelton and Hamza Yassin.

Unfortunately it was the end of the line for Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh, who lost the dance off against CBBC star Molly. Saying goodbye to the competition, Kym thanked her pro dancer Graziano Di Prima.
“I never thought I’d get to this stage ever in a million years”, she said during her exit interview with Tess.
“But I have to say it’s all down to this man here because he’s just wonderful and you will be my friend for ever”, she continued, patting Graziano on the chest.
In her own Instagram post, Kym penned a heartfelt message to Graziano and her family writing: “I will never forget this moment in my life. I have made a friend for like in @grazianodiprima but have to say a huge thank you my family.”
