Fleur rose to fame when she placed second in the 2014 series of hit ITV talent show The X Factor. Her widespread acclaim on the show where she performed Uptown Funk with Bruno Mars in the live semi-final, saw her bag a record deal with Syco and release the single ‘Sax’, which hit number three in the charts and stayed in the top 10 for seven weeks. In 2022 she was a fan favourite competing on BBC talent show Strictly Come Dancing, where she narrowly missed out on winning the illustrious Glitterball trophy with partner Vito Coppola. Since her success on Strictly, Fleur has become co-host of the BBC 2 sister show Strictly: It Takes Two and presents the Hits Radio Breakfast Show alongside Will Best and James Barr. Throughout her career, Fleur has also appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, been part of the Saturday Night Takeaway presenting team, hosted ITV game show The Void and appeared in three episodes of Ted Lasso.

The musical has been running in the West End for over 7 years, making it the longest running show ever to play at the Aldwych Theatre.
 
Developed in London together with Tina Turner, the critically acclaimed production received its world premiere in April 2018 and has subsequently broken all Box Office records at the Aldwych Theatre. Since its opening, 10 first-class productions have opened worldwide on Broadway, in North America, Germany, Australia, Spain and the Netherlands.
