Opening up about her soft spot for Craig Revel Horwood, Ellie said, “He knows I love him so much!”

After watching a VT of their time on the show together, Vito and Ellie revealed that they’re going to continue dancing together, despite their exit.

“We are dancing this week, we said already, our jive,” Vito revealed.

“And we’re going to do a few other dances Ellie said to me at the beginning ‘I want to do’,” he then said.

“The couple’s choice,” Ellie said. “The cha-cha-cha, and more.”

Ellie and Vito’s plans for the future

“We’re going to keep practicing,” Vito said. “And some new dances. You said to me you wanted to do the Charleston.”

“We are doing this training up ’till the final!” Ellie declared.

“You’re going to have your own Strictly at this point,” Fleur then joked.

Giving her final thoughts, Ellie expressed how much she’d enjoyed working with Vito.

“I have loved being with him, the man, Vito,” she said. “The best partner in the world.”

She added that the results show had been “so, so scary” but he’d kept her “calm”.

She also added that she’d loved Esltree Studios. “What we’re going to miss the most is seeing you light up the dancefloor,” Fleur said.

We couldn’t agree more!
