ELLIE Goldstein delivered a stunning performance on Strictly tonight, alleviating any worries about her emotional state from last week.
The 23-year-old model and actress raised concerns among viewers during last week’s live show when she appeared teary-eyed following her Cha-Cha with dance partner Vito Coppola.



However, tonight Ellie dazzled in a beautiful blue and white flowing dress as she performed a waltz to 'What a Wonderful World.'
There were hardly any dry eyes in the room, except for Ellie and Vito, as the couple gracefully twirled and moved like butterflies in sync with the music.
The judges appreciated the performance, giving the duo a total score of 23 out of 40 points.
This brings their combined score to 40, as the show is tallying points from both this week and last week before the first elimination.
One judge remarked: “Today, Ellie, you were the embodiment of grace and charm. Keep refining your skills, and wow, can you spin! Well done!”
She also complimented Ellie for implementing last week’s feedback regarding her foot positioning.
Another judge echoed this sentiment, stating: “Ellie, I completely agree with Shirley. Your underarm spins are an absolute delight.”
“If you continue to enhance the aspects everyone has suggested, you will become unstoppable.”
Viewers were equally enchanted by the performance, feeling quite emotional.
“Ellie looked stunning, and her waltz was just as beautiful! Her dress is gorgeous. I love this joyful partnership,” commented one user on X.
“That was a beautiful dance; I’m in tears. Ellie’s dress is so lovely,” and “Absolutely flawless from Ellie. So balletic. No, YOU’RE crying,” added others.
Following last week’s performance, Ellie took to social media to clarify that she wasn't feeling upset.
Ellie expressed: “Thank you all so much for the incredible love and support!
“I’m thrilled that so many of you enjoyed watching me dance last night — I'm truly having the time of my life.
“This really is a dream come true!”
She went on to express her gratitude to the show, the cast, and her dance partner for their contributions to her amazing Strictly journey.
“I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by the most wonderful support team: my amazing family, my agents, the entire Strictly crew, and, of course, my incredible dance partner Vito.
“I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
