Why is Fleur East presenting Hits Radio Breakfast from Blackpool on Friday?

The answer is obvious – Strictly Come Dancing is live from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Saturday!

The Hits Radio Breakfast team have packed their bags and will be heading off to Blackpool ahead of Fleur’s appearance on the TV show this weekend.

This comes after she topped the Strictly leader board last weekend, thanks to her 39-scoring samba. Fleur and co-hosts James Barr and Matt Haslam will present their Breakfast Show live from Blackpool on Friday.

The show will feature some surprise special guests, a chat with Fleur’s pro partner Vito Coppola and a Strictly gossip with fellow Hits Radio presenter Gemma Atkinson – whose partner Gorka will also be performing in the ballroom this Saturday.

James and Matt also have a very special surprise on Friday morning for Fleur as part of their on-going VOTE FLEUR campaign!

Paul Gerrard, Programme Director for Hits Radio Network said: “As soon as we found out that Fleur had made it through to Blackpool we just knew that we had to do Friday’s show from there.

“It’s not our first rollercoaster ride in that fabulous location as Fleur, James and Matt actually broadcast from their last year as part of their Summer Staycation tour. We had the warmest welcome from everyone in Blackpool then and we’re thrilled to be back this week for this very special show.”
