The EastEnders actor and his dance partner Dianne Buswell are vying for a spot in the final
by Phoebe Jobling · Manchester Evening NewsStrictly Come Dancing fans appear to have been distracted by the same detail on Tuesday's (December 5) spin-off show It Takes Two. The BBC2 programme runs alongside the hit BBC One dance competition, offering viewers an extra insight into the contestant's antics.
Host Fleur East returned to front the show on Tuesday with more backstage gossip and behind-the-scenes action from the Strictly Come Dancing world. Joining her on the programme was EastEnders' Bobby Brazier and his dance partner Dianne Buswell, who discussed their performance from Musicals Week and their upcoming dances in the semi-final.
The 20-year-old actor has made it through to the next round of the dance contest alongside Coronation Street star Ellie Leach, former tennis pro Annabel Croft and West End star Layton Williams. Each of the four celebrities were immediately put through to the semi finals after actor Nigel Harman was forced to withdraw from the competition due to sustaining an injury.

During Musicals Week, Bobby and Dianne performed a Salsa to 'Time of my Life' from Dirty Dancing and received a score of 34 from the judges. But admittedly, the iconic lift didn't go as well as planned, despite it never going wrong in rehearsals.
Speaking to It Takes Two host Fleur East, Dianne explained: "Every single time we practised there was never a moment where we thought we wouldn't do the lift. We did it every single time. But on the show there is pressure, the audience, you get excited. It happened, but just not the best we could have done it."
Fleur then revealed that the Bobby and Dianne will be performing a Quickstep to Mack The Knife by Bobby Darin this week, but Bobby admitted he is struggling with the speed. As Fleur asked: "How are you coping with the speed?", the actor responded: "I don't know if we are coping with the speed of it just yet."
But it was a detail with host Fleur East's outfit that viewers couldn't help but notice, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the same thoughts. @norfolk_Girl tweeted: "Why does Fleur always wear clothes that are three or four times bigger than she is? Looks ridiculous."
@ericandern2 asked: "Can someone on @bbcstrictly #ItTakesTwo please put @FleurEast in clothes that fit? They look far too big for her," as @sugarbuzzybee responded: "Exactly. Was just thinking the same. Who dresses her? Clothes are always unflattering."
@lindycarpo commented: "That suit is lovely and sparkly and everything, but my god, it's massive on Fleur! Can someone please send her to the alterations ladies? #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing," as @karenmcburnie1 added: "Goodness, how big is Fleurs suit #Strictly."
