Fleur East honours late father

In a post uploaded on Tuesday (June 24), Fleur posed in front of the Aldwych Theatre where the musical is currently taking place. In front of the venue is a bus stop, which featured an advertisement of Fleur promoting Hits Radio.

Beaming with joy, the former Strictly contestant took a selfie and wrote: “When two worlds collide.”

She continued: “As I walked into the Aldwych theatre for my dress run I saw the advert for our new @hitsradiouk breakfast show at the bus stop. So funny that the night before opening night, I see my two adventures before my very eyes, side by side.”

“In life, I’ve always taken on challenges that scare me. Things that push me out of my comfort zone are what I’m attracted to, because I always grow as a person and learn new things. I love to learn.”

Fleur used her latest career milestone to honour her father, who died five years ago.

“I believe in tasting all the flavours of life. My Father used to always say “you can never have too many strings to your bow” and he was so right. I’m gutted that my Dad won’t be there to see me on stage as @tinaturner in @tinathemusical, but as I look out to the stage and up at the lights, I believe he will be watching over me,” she added.

As she prepared for her first-ever West End role, Fleur admitted she was “nervous, excited and ready for this new ride”.
