Strictly elimination sees fourth celebrity leave after tense dance off

A Strictly Come Dancing couple “put on a convincing act” for their dance last weekend even though they do have a “deep rapport”, a body language expert said. Last Saturday’s live show saw former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and her pro partner Vito Coppola dance their way to the top of the leaderboard with their American Smooth routine to Robbie Williams' version of Ain’t That A Kick In The Head.The couple, who have sparked romance rumours due to their undeniable chemistry, scored a near perfect 39 out of 40 - with judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas praising the 'final-worthy' performance.

Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach is reportedly "smitten" with her Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Vito Coppola. The pair have been surrounded by romance rumours for weeks after they were seen leaving the Pride of Britain awards together last month. Vito also kisses Ellie on the cheek at the end of every routine they perform on the BBC series.

Many Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left asking 'who' before saying it took them 'ages' to recognise one of the show's professional dancers. The confusion came during the latest results show which aired on Sunday night (October 30).

A fifth celebrity has been eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing after a dance-off which one judge said featured “fighting spirit” from both couples.

Adam Thomas is taking the dancefloor by storm in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing. However, the actor was forced to pull out from spin-off show It Takes Two on Friday after it was revealed he had been unwell over recent days. In tonight's episode though the 35-year-old was back fighting fit and even performed his 'best' dance yet, according to both the judges and fans.

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Adam Thomas had to miss a scheduled appearance on BBC spin-off show It Takes Two tonight - just 24 hours before he is due to dance the American Smooth on Saturday's live show.

Strictly Come Dancing may be about to lose Karen Hauer from its professional line-up, some of the fans believe. Part of the choreography team since 2012, the Venezuelan-American, 41, has partnered with celebrities including Westlife singer Nicky Byrne, TOWIE's Mark Wright, Pop Idol winner Will Young and comedian Chris Ramsey, but Karen's dream of lifting the Glitterball trophy looks to be gone forever. Following her and Eddie Kadi's elimination from the competition last weekend, various Reddit users have now noticed a particular tone of body language from the pro, which they believe could signal her departure from the show.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Carlos Gu has jokingly clapped back at Craig Revel Horwood's harsh feedback to Angela Scanlon from Saturday night's episode. Appearing on Strictly: It Takes Two, Janette Manrara asked Carlos his thoughts on Craig's comments that their dance 'wasn't smooth, unfortunately' and that they 'needed new ideas'.The 29 year old professional dancer laughed, however, and gave a one word answer about his opinions - "rude".

Strictly Come Dancing bosses have spoken out in response to favouritism reports, which claimed EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, 20, and documentary maker Zara McDermott, 26, were being favoured over other celebrities on the show. The statement comes after a drama-filled Strictly week which saw Amanda Abbington leave the show and Eddie Kadi shockingly dumped, despite scoring the first 10 of the series a few weeks ago.

Strictly Come Dancing's Zara McDermott has told fans she 'let herself down' after ending up in the dance-off for the second time. The BBC dance contest returned this weekend for its fifth week which saw 11 of the 12 remaining couples take to the ballroom to compete for their spot on the show.

This weekend, Eddie Kadi became the fourth contestant to leave Strictly Come Dancing after he faced off Zara McDermott in the dance off. The tense dance off saw both couples performing their routines for a second time.

Unfortunately for Jody Cundy CBE, he became the third celebrity to depart the dance floor on Strictly Come Dancing. He and his dance partner Jowita Przystal performed their Salsa to Samba de Janeiro by Bellini while Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer performed their American Smooth to Sex Bomb by Tom Jones again.

Strictly Come Dancing's Eddie Kadi joked "there had to be a catch" as he spoke about escaping elimination just a week after scoring the first perfect ten of the series. The comedian and partner Karen Hauer's American Smooth failed to impress on Saturday, landing them in the dance-off.

Strictly Come Dancing fans couldn't help but trigger an age-old debate relating to the hit dance show as the latest results were revealed. Week four of the BBC One competition saw Layton Williams smash this year's record by achieving the highest score of the series so far.
