Ellie looks stunning tonight. That dress is brilliant.

Finding this a bit weird

That was clever choreography

I loved that paso!

Such clever choreography. Great stuff.

Love Ellie S work ethic and determination. You can tell that she is an athlete

Bloody furious... Had the Chelsea match pinned on my phone... They scored in the 89th minute then Man U equalised in extra time!!! 😡 😡 😡 😡

I enjoyed that. Ellie looks fantastic.

That was fab

I didn't like that much. It just looked odd somehow.

Fantastic Ellie , and great adaptation from Nitika

Loved that.

Loved it. Ellie is great.

Yep, really liked that one. Power from Ellie in that one. Also good to have great music.

Ellie’s characterisation was great, great partnership with Nikita

Fair dues, Nikita has made this work.

Ellie S and Nikita were fab. Helps that music was proper classical music first, not a theme tune

Definitely. If that was his choreography then he did a brilliant job.

Not minding the theme tunes, which is a surprise as I thought it would be much worse.

Do think James was a bit undermarked too. Helen is the best so far.

Yes, the athletes just have a winner mindset and it always shows on Strictly.

I didn’t like that at all. The lifts just look so wrong, it illustrates the height difference.

The Paso must be a very hard dance for her as it is all about the shapes and she can’t raise her hands above her head.

Fucking hell, Shirl, throw them a bone. Was she supposed to face plant onto the floor?

Is a who's who of past bbc strictly dancers in the audience tonight.

She was fantastic and Nikita was so clever with his choreography.

Aw bless Nikita, he's doing a Luther Vandross/Broadcast news. Pass the lad a towel. Great choreographer.
