Following last night’s Halloween special, another couple has been eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing. During tonight’s results show, Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola were officially the next pair to leave the competition following the dreaded dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and pro partner Julian Caillon. After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts, with Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, and Motsi Mabuse all opting to save Balvinder and Julian. Shirley Ballas had the casting vote this week and said that she would have chosen to save Balvinder and Julian if she were required to make a choice.

When asked by Tess Daly about how much she enjoyed dancing with Vito, Ellie said: “I’ve enjoyed it so much. He is a kind person and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito].”

Earlier, Vito said to Ellie: “Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you, and you did really change my life so much. You made me such a better person. At the beginning of this year, I said to myself please, please, please can you send me a beautiful angel into my life?

“And now you arrived. I’ve never had a little sister, but I always wanted one. Now, I have you and you’re my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side.”

Balvinder and Julian therefore booked their place in next week’s show.

During Sunday’s result show, there was also a special performance from Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns.

Last night’s leaderboard saw Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope at number one thanks to his perfect 40 score, with ex-England footballer Karen Carney in second place.

However, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was at the bottom, with Ellie just above him.

The remaining nine couples will take to the dance floor on Saturday, 8 November, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
