Spoiler thread.

Ellie definitely seemed a bit tired in both of her dances.

If even I could see it had gone wrong, it definitely wasn't tiny

Her energy has been odd, I'm missing the joy that she normally exudes. She seemed hesitant in the middle

If she'd pulled off that last life, I'd have voted for her but it spoilt it for me. The winner needs to be near perfect.

She's probably exhausted bless her

I wasn’t keen on that at all.

Ellie's dances have had too many lifts and not enough dancing for weeks (not her fault and just my opinion obviously)

She does seem less cheerful but I thought that last week and commented on it.

Can't tell who will win tonight

She couldn’t quite sustain the pace. But up against Layton- your going to take risks.

Do you not remember Hamza's car crash showdance from last year? Didn't do him any harm.

Blimey that last lift! I've watched it a few times and she was very lucky that he caught her (and perfectly in time with the music, amazingly)!

I hope her neck is alright.

Vito is so crazy about Ellie 😂

There was a mistake/hesitancy early on in that dance too

She was doing so well at the start but it was quite a fierce/hard vibe and the last lift was a monumental fuck up. Two to go.

They could so easily have coasted. They didn't. That was amazing.

Too many lifts for my liking,a.d it did look like she was flagging at the end.

Otherwise it could have been epic.

He's clearly the best dancer though, by a mile

I agree. She seemed a little bit tired. I think Vito pushed her on the lifts a bit too much.

I really like it. The end went a bit wrong, but the level of those lifts are far higher than anyone else has attempted. Think it still should be a 10 for that reason. Annabel was still in last week and wouldn't have been able to do anything near that.

Even if she doesn't get the glitter ball at least she still gets to shag Vito. 😀if it was me I wouldn't be caring about winning anyway.

Maybe Vito pushed her just that little bit too much? I'm sure he really wants to win. Who wouldn't?

Tess's dress is awful even by her usual standards.

Hardly surprising is it though?

Nooooo!!! Dianne have you learnt nothing from the salsa!
