The judges scored the couple an impressive 37 points.

Craig Revel Horwood commented on their partnership, saying they were “on fire,” before awarding them 10 points.

They also received a perfect score from judge Motsi Mabuse, who described the routine as the best since the 2023 began. Giving her feedback she said: “”This is what we want. I felt like this was on a whole different level. This was attack, this was power, this was control.”

She added: “This was for me the very best show since we started the season. I loved it!”

The judges weren’t the only ones impressed by the couple’s performance on the dance floor. Fans also reacted well, taking to Instagram to share their views.

In a video of the dance posted to the 1.1 million followers on the official @bbcstrictly page one fan wrote: “The undermarking of Ellie is getting ridiculous now this girl could dance like a pro and would still not get the scores she deserves.”

Whilst another wrote: “Should have been 10 10 10 10” and a third commented: “For me the dance of the series! Should have been tens!”

A fourth added: “Should have been 10’s all round for Ellie and Vito. Fantastic dance. So disappointed by the judges scoring for this dance – seems very unfair. Ellie and Vito all the way.”
