She tried the "Celtic nation" line in Glasgow and still didn't even get runner-up, I'm not holding out any hope for her.I really hope Angela and Carlos get at least one win, but with Belfast being skipped this year, that's probably unlikely.
Nikita and Carlos are so fucking unhinged and hot.
I'm glad we can always count on the Chaos Duo of Nikita and Carlos to do something fucking unhinged in the improv sections!
I was going to say they're passing one braincell back and forth... but I'm not sure there's even that many!
I love her paso but I do wonder if there was a way of doing the salsa. I know they couldn't have done the make-up every night, but that song is such a monster right now and the dance is so good it may have inspired a few more votes as you say. Ultimately it's probably only a few hundred people voting in each venue so small margins can make a difference.I might well be wrong, seeing as Bobby's VW wasn't a super memorable dance but him doing it on tour isn't stopping him winning, but I think Ellie would be doing a bit better if she had something more exciting than the Paso. I've said it before, but I think her Charleston or Salsa might've inspired a few more votes. Which may well be all she'd need to have won a few shows, seeing as it seems to be pretty close between her, Bobby and Layton with with no one else (so far) creeping into any runner up spots.
I also think it was a big (and weird) mistake for her American Smooth to not have backing dancers and to not move around the arena like Bobby's VW does.
I wondered if the getting a tattoo talk would just die a death. I find it strange two ‘friends’ getting matching tattoos but that’s just me, don’t have any so not sure what the tattoo etiquette isI love her paso but I do wonder if there was a way of doing the salsa.

I agree on the backing dancers for the AS. I love the dance but looking at videos the staging looks really bare! Having said that, I rewatched some of last year's tour dances recnetly, and Hamza's AS had backing dancers, big production and finished on a big list, and he still barely won anything!
Hamza definitely won Glasgow though so had won by now.
Just saw a tiktok from Friday night I think of Vito saying during the show they are getting the bee/aubergine tattoos next week. I presume they're getting them in Manchester. Just what this shitshow needed!
I have friends that have matching tattoos and have to say the tatts are just as bad as aubergine/bee.I wondered if the getting a tattoo talk would just die a death. I find it strange two ‘friends’ getting matching tattoos but that’s just me, don’t have any so not sure what the tattoo etiquette is
I’ve watched Strictly for years and for me personally, Ellie & Vito have been one of my favourite partnerships.An unpopular opinion but I don't get the fascination or love for Ellie.
I didn't begrudge her winning, even though I would have preferred Layton and Nikita but don't know why suddenly she is all over the papers about her love life. Also I have never ever believed their was anything romantic with Vito, no way.
Nice girl and all that but that's about it.
Yes, exactly this. I think Ellie had lots of broad popular appeal that won her the show, but less of the passionate/dedicated fans that want to see Bobby or Layton win on tour.I always think the tour is a mix of both super Strictly fans & those who really like the entertainment factor of it. & those people aren’t the idiots sat at home every week being homophobic or spouting vitriol about being too good for the show. They want to watch a great show & bless Ellie, she isn’t a real showman like Layton nor does she have Bobbys outgoing nature. Also, she doesn’t have the super fans I don’t think. Bobby is young & pulls in the crazy tween vote plus Dianne continues to pull in the Joe Sugg crazies. Layton was marmite but those who love him, LOVE him. And love his friendship with Nikita.
I’m sure she’s OK, it’s just a bit fun isn’t it. I doubt any of them take it very seriously.
Ditto @whoareyoukiddingI’ve watched Strictly for years and for me personally, Ellie & Vito have been one of my favourite partnerships.
Every year, there is a general fascination about a certain couple and for me this year, it’s been those two.
You mention opinions… I never ever understood or saw any romance between Gio & Rose but even now, what is it, two years later? People are still holding out hope
I do love Layton & Nikita though and would have been equally as thrilled to see them win.
Yes, I did think he was respectful in what he said, but it would be more respectful to keep quiet.I was just in the shop - the Ellie ex-bf is actually on the front page of the Sun. Gross. I guess at least he was respectful and didn't bring up too much of the Ellie/Vito stuff - not that she would have told him anyway presumably if there was/wasn't anything going on.
So a matinee today, which will be won by Bobby, then off to Liverpool and a day off doubtless full of pap pics, and Vito will be invisible. Maybe he's just busy filming hisOnlyFansCameo videos?
No doubt a few ‘shopping in Cricket’ shots, that store owner is very hot on getting publicity!I was just in the shop - the Ellie ex-bf is actually on the front page of the Sun. Gross.

On the one hand, I'm happy that she won as it was nice to see a young female celeb escape vitriol. But on the other hand, I do think she was helped a bit by the fact that Layton unfortunately got SO much vitriol instead. She's a bit lacking in charisma and that extra sparkle for me, but I think I lot of people just appreciated that she just really good and not that marmite (I'm trying and failing to think of a good way of saying how she didn't really polarise opinion that much)An unpopular opinion but I don't get the fascination or love for Ellie.

Come on - if she wasn't a willing player in this fairly obvious PR drive, she wouldn't be letting herself be photo'ed cuddling up to Booby. Plenty of other people to sit next to and fool around with in semi public spaces. She's been in the business just as long as Booby and she knows the score.It really is and so sad when she conducted herself with such dignity on Strictly, she doesn't come across as an attention seeker or someone who thrives on drama. Seeing as we have already had stories of her being down since the stories broke I can see her being really overwhelmed.
She has another week before she hits home turf I really hope this one is a quiet headline week.
