Ellie and Vito. Divine combination. Consistent, gorgeous, sensual and confident. This is a Rumba. No judges is gonna convince me this was an 8 or 9. 10/10

Love a bit of consistency, she clearly improving week on week in her confidence and it shows. It was sensual, romantic and simply beautiful

Utterly beautiful!! These two are my winners for sure ✨️

Ellie is consistently wonderful. She was like an angel in this dance. That choreography was really good but hard and she danced it excellently. Very beautiful Rumba and chemistry between the two. 😊💫

To say I love Ellie’s outfit is a understatement it’s absolutely stunning. Loved this dance, love the connection between Ellie & Vitto. These are my 2023 winners

Undermarked. Out to Fan (0:55) is one of the cleanest I've seen a celeb do on Strictly. Her sliding doors (1:02) into rope-spin is also divine. She is also one of the few (if any this season) sinking her knee into the other in her New Yorkers (1:20). I would say 10.

Seriously, who is the pro again? 😅 I'm sure the whole nation went silent then. So hypnotic. She never does a dance even remotely bad! I have never seen a Strictly contestant so consistently amazing every week. It will be a travesty if she doesn't win. The fact that she didn't get a single 10 is already a sin.

Score - *9/10* Almost a 10 for me and certainly never an 8, i can't believe Craig gave this an 8 seriously, Ellie made this look so easy, her fan and aida looked so effortless the way she coresses the floor and did all the Rumba walks aswell they were so clean and fluid, I absolutely loved this it was brilliant, Ellie is such a shining star now her confidence has just sky rocketed, she has opened the door and brought her heart with her. Their chemisty and partnership is amazing. I would have liked to have seen more rotation in the hips when they were together but really apart from that absolutely incredible once again and I expected nothing less from them 😍

So undermarked. Deserved some 10’s. Brilliant

This dance was incredible and completely undermarked! Ellie and Vito constantly blow me away with their performances each week! I was truly impressed by this rumba and it deserved a higher score! ❤❤

Love these too. Who ever designed & made Ellie dress needs some recognition because wow it is absolutely gorgeous & Ellie looked absolutely stunning in it. Good luck Ellie & Vito 🤍

She's so good! I want them to win! Beautiful, expressive and such lovely Sarah Rumba and waltz are two dances that people dislike but when done well like this they're some of my favourites to watch.

Absolutely gorgeous rumba and definitely undermarked. 10/10. My beautiful winners 🎉 🏆

Beautiful. Absolutely love them.

Loved it, imagine watching this in person you wouldn't want to blink its just incredible 9/10

Ive been a latin dancer since i was 6 years old. Been out the game for a bit (this is my excuse😉)but she dances the rumba better than me. Hip work straight legs beautiful body movement but her feetwork aligned with the rest of her bodywork...exquisitely on point. Ger foot work point but controlled throughout the slow music. You can see her leg muscles working with her feet and ankles. Beautiful. Vito partnership with her is fire and grace❤

I loved watching the dance performance between Ellie and vito

She is an amazingly versatile dancer. So consistently good. It would be a shock if she didn't make the final. A great partnership with Vito. The chemistry is there for all to see.

how can someone with no dancing background be so amazingly great!!! Ellie is awesome. A true winner

Perfect combo. Ellie is superb. She get's better and blooms more every week. Brava Ellie and Bravo Vito.❤

I just love Ellie and Vito, such a wonderful partnership. They deserve to go all the way to the Glitterball❤

Love love love it!! Music was great, costumes were fabulous, and every move was on point!!!

Wow, Ellie gets better every week and if she doesn’t lift the glitter ball this year I’ll pickle my walnuts as dear old Len used to say xx

This was so beautiful and elegant it's definitely a 10/10 score from me

I think this girl is going to win

Beautiful 😍. I hope you win in the final. Your so good together. X❤

❤❤❤Ellie and Vito are my favourites. They've kept me hooked. This is what made the BBC the most watched show.

I love this! she did so well and danced all the choreo! A proper showcase

They deserve to do well as they have been consistently impressive throughout. A lovely couple and she is rather modest and restrained which is a lovely trait to possess especially when she is so good. Who could not love Vito!

Totally undermarked by farrr well done Ellie still my winners

This woman is fighting every week to win this I feel. She's a finalist and possibly a winner if it all comes together on the night for her. She transforms herself every dance.

Gorgeous routine. 💙

Ellie u go girl, ur a fab dancer absolutely beautiful soooo talented x

This rumba was the best by far ❤❤

Beautiful … elegant arms, legs; my favourite of the night. Honestly don’t know what she could have done better Craig!

So clean and so beautiful 9/10❤ she’s a winner.

Next is Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola dancing the Rumba. MY WINNERS. I like the softness of the dance, best rumba I have ever seen of Strictly, less sexy and more sweet that is how you do a Rumba people. It also reminded me of Kara and Artem's Rumba, Ellie is dressed and has her Hair just like Kara's and by the way no acting required for this dance.

My favourite couple from the start. Another Beautiful Routine.

The winners . Ellie has really grown . This deserves a 40.

It's insane to think she has no dance experience, she's such a natural, love watching her get better and better each week.

They look like they are in love doing this rumba it was danced so very nice

Stunning Performance, Vito and Ellie🔥♥️🎉

I would have liked Ellie and Vito to dance rumba during Blackpool week, because there would be more opportunities to get the 10 they deserve for this routine 👏

She improves with every dance 💃.

Vito è la vita. Ellie is mesmerising. Flawless ❤️‍🔥X

Such a beautiful performance and that dress is also beautiful.

Ellie is ridiculously talented! Yet again another remarkable performance, mmm... yes, maybe it could’ve done with a bit more of the rotation to give it that extra flow and gracefulness but that being said, she’s bloody brilliant! I loved the lights, so pretty, the outfit for her I thought was stunning! All in all great! Well done! A lot of these dances I wish could all be performed in the final to get the perfect score it deserves 😂.

Ellie did a move in her rumba steps that Kara Tointon did in her in 2010 Kara went on to win the glitter ball trophy 🏆 she also had a relationship with her professional dancer Artem.

Exquisite ❤️

I hope Ellie and Vito dance Pasodoble and Rumba again in the final, like Molly last year 👌❤️

Love her dress! 😍😍😍

These are amazing and get better every week. There now appears to be a competition of sorts for the top of the leaderboard between them and Layton. These two are great. Have a good day reader

I think it's the best rumba I've seen on Strictly. I can't understand how it didn't get a 40 :(

The Rumba is usually my least favourite to watch, and a lot of people go out when they’ve done a Rumba, but Ellie smashed it 👏🏻 her dress is beautiful as well 🥰

Beautiful

Beautiful ❤✨⭐

Immensely undermarked

Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 rumba if Vito and Ellie

Besty dance of the night

Flawless in my humble opinion ✨️

WOW. Amazing choreography. Such talented and flawless dancers. I love the outfits, music and emotion in this performance. I think they were undermarked too often but they won and both deserved it. One of my favourite couples on Strictly xxx

❤ greetings from coastal Mississippi. Very beautiful dance. Was enthralled by the movement of the bodies 🎉

MAGNIFIQUE ! Romantic and simply !

best female dancer this week !..🥰

Oh gosh this is stunning

WOW!

A beautiful performance 👏👏👏 Well Done 🎉🎉🎉

These should win.🎉

Beautiful dancing, to perfect music ❤and thats why i love you. 10

I liked them from the first week. This is what the competition is supposed to be about. Someone with zero dance experience who grows from week to week. The likes of Layton make a mockery of it. A trained West End dancer. Madness. Ellie and Vito 100% for the trophy. If they were to become 'more than good friends' that would be the cherry on the cake.

Wow wow wow 💓

Beautiful dance love these two

Underscored. 9/10

That was anazing

I loved the chest showing of Vito lol

This dance is so hard for female celeb, since they be the main focus with all the steps and cuban hips and rumba walk. This is extremely delivered performance, 9 for sure.

I don’t see what Craig was looking at at all. I could see her finishing her lines like at 1:41. I think he was being fussy this week. Or producers have told him to keep his 10 for Blackpool…

❤ just gorgeous Gio and Diane and beautiful song performance ❤❤

Wow

Completely underscore. Anyway, they deliver every week. They never disappoint.

I think Vito is phenomenal teacher, I do think he coi do benefit of making easier routines and focusing more on the steps then making EllIe sone professional look on dancer. She’s so impressive already.

⭐️my score: 9/10 This was my second favourite dance of the night! Definitely getting to the final💓

our scores: me: 9 diya: 9 kelsey: 9 owen: 9 36/40 anton said he found nothing wrong with it and gave it a 9. what a joke. ellie always delivers!

Vito my man

Apparently, this was worth the same points as Angela R's paso, according to Craig. If that paso was an 8, this was a 10, but I think, realistically, the paso was a 7, and this was a 9. She made such a difficult dance look so flowing, light, elegant and easy. Plenty of content and creative choreography from Vito. Just a little more flow and ease in the body and shoulders, and it would have been a 10 from me.

Beautiful! She did amazing for such a hard dance and managed to make it look natural. Maybe just needed a little more flow from movement to movement.

The Rumba is such a tough dance and I thought Ellie did a great job! A 9 from me

Ellie and Vito used the rumba to a song True Colors it was beautiful as this method that show up in the sky where the blue bird fly, trouble smells like lemon drop away above the chimney tops and more but the judges heard how they inmpressed about the dance to that song was beautiful as the sky of blue. Name that rounded thing touch through Fanian's seeing? The score is one 8s and three 9s and 35 out of 40.....with....

Well all I can say is that was gorgeous. 9.

❤❤❤❤🙏🏻

Thought this was outstanding shud have been 10 s ❤

My score 10 undermarked

Ellie so reminds me of Georgia May Foote who was Giovanni's partner his 1st year

Scores ⭐️ Craig:8 Motsi:9 Shirley:9 Anton:9 🟰35

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I like the couple, I loved the dance. My only problem with Vito is that he once again forgot that he is the frame and not the picture.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

Craig, what is going on. giving her same score as Angela is a crime. 8? Come on. that dance should be 37 at least !
