Fleur East Is Wealthier Than Strictly's Head Judge

Back in 2005, Fleur East found fame on The X Factor as part of the Addictiv Ladies girl group. Although the band failed to win over the voting public, East made a sensational return to the competition almost a decade later as a solo artist, finishing in second place. The “Sax” hitmaker has since gone on to release two solo albums, appear in multiple reality TV shows, land a radio presenting gig, and more. In 2022, East joined the cast of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the grand finale alongside dance partner Vito Coppola — marking yet another successful, and reportedly lucrative career venture. But, what is Fleur East’s net worth?
