It comes after Ellie Taylor on Sunday night became the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from this year’s series after finding herself at the dance with singer Fleur East, 35, and her professional partner Vito Coppola, of 30.
After placing in the bottom two, Ellie played Van Morrison’s heir Jive to Brown Eyed Girl in an attempt to stay in the competition.
However, the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke voted unanimously to save Fleur and Vito after they performed their Rumba to Too Lost in You by the Sugababes.
Series exit: Ted Lasso actress Ellie Taylor was the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from the series this year.
After both couples danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig chose to save Fleur and Vito, explaining, “Based solely on technique, I’d like to save Fleur and Vito.”
Motsi also chose to save the pair, saying: “First of all I would like to say that both pairs performed very well, also for me the technical aspect was very important, so I am going to save Fleur and Vito.”
Bye! Ellie and Johannes seemed thrilled when the news broke that the judges had picked them to leave the show.
Anton added: ‘Well, I’d just like to congratulate both couples for making it this far in the competition. They both danced beautifully.
‘I thought Ellie danced a great performance on your Jive. And Fleur, I thought that your technique was strong and your acting was powerful, and I would like to save Fleur and Vito.
With three votes in favor of Fleur and Vito, it meant they had won the majority vote and would remain in the competition anyway, however, head judge Shirley Ballas said she would have decided to save Fleur and Vito as well.
Vote Out: However, the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke voted unanimously to save Fleur and Vito after they performed their Rumba to Too Lost.
She said: “Both couples danced exceptionally well, but on this occasion, for the technical qualities, it would have saved Fleur and Vito.”
Asked by presenter Tess Daly if it had been everything she hoped it would be, Ellie said: “It has been and it has been, I’m going to be a cliché machine now but it’s been everything and more.” Never in a million years did I expect to be here this long and experience it so fully.
“It’s strictly about the dance, but it’s also about the people, and every part of this show from top to bottom, from the executives to the makeup, the hair, the costumes, the sets, the band, my partner the celebrities and the dancers, even some of the judges have been great! It’s been an absolute privilege to be a Strictly alumni and I’ve really loved it.’
Oh! During Saturday’s show, Ellie found herself at the bottom of the leaderboard after receiving just five out of ten points from judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Safe: Craig chose to save Fleur and Vito, explaining, “Based solely on technique, I’d like to save Fleur and Vito.”
When asked about her special relationship with Johannes, Ellie said: “We’ve had a lot of fun.” And borrowing an antonym, let me tell you about you, Johannes Radebe. You [Johannes] you are as wonderful as everyone said you would be, and i have said that you are like human sunlight and you really are.
You see people and you saw me, at every point. I’ve been so worried and so out of my comfort zone and so self-conscious and so weird and you’ve said ‘hug your weird Ellie’. You have done it wholeheartedly and without judgment.
“It has been an absolute privilege to dance with you JoJo, I don’t know what runs through your body but it’s not blood, it’s rhythm and it’s music, and watching you perform is incredible.”
Asked if he had any words for his partner, Johannes said: “Oh my gosh, it’s been a treat, a treasure, that’s our thing.” Ellie Taylor, moving forward, embrace your weirdness! Embrace your long limbs, because you are a beautiful person. So thank you for everything, you know my heart, thank you.
