Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola Paso Doble to Insomnia by Faithless ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

I don't care what happens, this dance has cemented Ellie and Vito as my winners

Criminally undermarked but she SMASHED IT

Dave Arch needs to release that version of Insomnia as a single. 😊

Ellie has went from good in week 1 to absolutely sensational now. She just gets better and better with every passing week. I hope she wins. ❤❤

The choreography was great... everything was amazing! The best of the night. What a brilliant partnership. Ellie and Vitto are my favorite couple this year.

Vito is the MOST INCREDIBLE of the professionals. He really gives his all

Best dance of the series so far! This blew me away. I’m beyond thrilled with this partnership.

Superb choreography from Vito! 🙌🏼 He’s PHENOMENAL ❤️‍🔥

Vito is absolute perfection as a Dancer! Would be tough to compete against.

The most gorgeous dance of the night. Vito has invisible wings, he defies gravity. How Ellie keeps up with him, and she does, is an absolute miracle. My favorite Paso ever.

This song choice was unexpectedly genius for a Paso. Was already drunk by this point last night and nearly leapt from my chair when the skirt-ography started. Awesome routine. 👌🏻

I loved Vito’s little freestyle on the stairs 👍🏼

My Score: 10!!! This is when performance, technique, atmosphere and choreography, lighting and music all come together. One of the best pasó dobles EVER ON STRICTLY! Best dance of this series so far by a mile!! I have a feeling we’ll see this get the 40 it deserves in the final!!

Now this is what I call a Paso Doble! Should have been 40. Week 1 to now... absolutely sensational. I can’t believe how unique and controlled and powerful this was, so much talent! I could watch this forever if I could. Music, choreography, footwork, timing, musicality, pure perfection! This song is a belter and perfect for this particular dance. She really deserved at least that 10 from Motsi! Her determination is infectious, I love love love it! I’ve got a feeling that this is gonna get the rightfully deserved 40 in the final!!!! Once again you’ve rendered me speechless you delight. What a performance! Exquisite! Well done sweetheart! See you in the final Ellie!! ❤❤❤

This gave me goosebumps when the music really kicked in. Amazing!

Dance of the night for me, looked liked two pros dancing, this partnership gets better every week 👏👏

Dance of the series so far Ellie to win 🏆

I loved this so much, as everyone is saying. Ellie dances so well, and gets the feeling of the dance so well, and their connection is off the chart... Can we also take a minute to appreciate what a good arrangement of Insomnia this is, especially with the enhanced drums - ba ba ba boom!!!

Great choreography from Vito

Ellie is amazing but Vito in this dance is out of this world!!🥰

That's the best paso I've ever seen on Strictly, everything was perfect, lost count of the number of times I've watched it. Sensational!

I knew as soon as they made their way down stairs with that dramatic opening I knew ELLIE would smash this dance go girl we are right behind you to win.

I love Insomnia by Faithless, Ellie and Vito did the song justice, in fact I could watch their Paso Doble, over and over again. You know how good their dance is when you wish you were in Ellie's shoes, great dancing with the gorgeous Vito.

Like Motsi said the best performance of the season so far imo, so powerful, so expressive, I loved it 9/10

Only one couple left in it now for me brilliant dancing amazing partnership come on you two let’s smash it

I absolutely loved Ellie and Vito tonight! There dance was absolutely incredible and deserved more tens from the judges! ❤😊

I keep coming back to watch this because of how good it is!!!! amazing choreography by vito and ellie mastered it immaculatley. They have such great chemistry and have so much potential to get to the final. how they didn't get all 10s is beyond but they're my fav patnership with bobby and dianne + nigel and katya! Great so far Xx

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched this dance, it has such power! I love it, the theatricality really makes it seem like they’re battling each other, never seen a dance like it 🪩

Keep coming back to watch this, it's up there with Jay's jive and Danny's samba!

The best dance for me this week, Brilliant performance Ellie!

They both started at the top of the studio and worked down the stairs onto the lower stage . Then down a ramp and travelled right to the far end of the dance floor. Crazy Good and what a tune !

I screamed during this dance it was soooooo good?! Ellie and Vito to win honestly. She's so sweet, and I think they're so good together

Fregolina is so difficult and it was so beautifully executed 👏🏻

Absolutely sensational! Deserved at least 3 10’s!! She’s my winner and this partnership is brilliant. 🔥

Definitely deserving of 10s for this, favourite of the night for me. Also, the moment after they finished dancing 😳 talk about immense chemistry! 👏🏻

Dance of the night...Ellie is amazing and improving week by week. Vito after the dance was hilarious with his excitable explanation 😂

As soon as Vito got on to the stairs!!!! You just know how good it’s away to be! This was so amazing!!!!!

Score: 10! What a performance! FIRE! PASSION! AGGRESSION! She executed every detail extremely well. This IS a paso. Perfect!

Should have been given tens right across the board, superb routine.

I will forever love them for bringing Trance to Strictly!

UNDERSCORED! Come on, show me who did Paso Doble like this in week 5? It was amazing, it should be at least 39! Thank you Motsi for showing that 10. Anton and Shirley, no comment....

AAAAAAAA!!! I KNEW SHE'D BE AMAZING! SHE'S AMAZING EVERY BLOODY WEEK AND HAVE NEVER DIPPED!!! 😭 Omg wow 👌 That was top notch Nigel's Paso has a worthy opponent! Standing ovation! My favourite dance and she smashed it!! Motsi Mabuse is the only one with a brain. She should have gotten three tens. Hell, I'd go full 40! She is such an amazing dancer! I love her!

This woman is amazing :-)

I’m OBSESSED with this partnership ever since week 1. Judges? What Ellie has to do to get a 40? She’s been brilliant every week and this paso is one of the best we’ve ever seen on strictly! UNDERMARKED! well done ellie&vito, hope you win ❤

Everything was right with this dance.The music was spot on for the dance - lighting - great energy from them both. Thats the way to do it.

I am from America. I have no clue who anyone is, I base everything off of feeling and technique and I just LOVE her

There is a prime example to the art of dancing, AND THEN THERE'S THIS!! I mean, WOW, WOW and WOW AGAIN!! Ellie has been far my favourite dancer since the beginning. She smashed it in the first week, but this has been the best thing yet! so perfect, from timing to the perfection of the moves, I'll do so much more than eat my head with my hat on if she doesn't make it to the final!!

I didnt think it was possible to dance to this song. Im absolutely blown away!! Magnifco

Fantastic routine. My winners this year. Shout-out to the orchestra as well for this absolute banger of a tune

This version of Insomnia is incredible. Would love to be able to download it

Stunning! This is my favourite Paso ever. You could even hear the bull snorting at the end too.

Truly remarkable. I wouldnt know who's the professionals there. Magnificent Paso Doble.❤

This performance made my heart jump out of my chest, and im on a boring detox, love ellie and vito , hes hilarious sexy and talented and she is so beautiful inside and out. hope they win they deserve it

Vito is absolutely incredible, he loves so much his work! I was crying listening the judges’ feedback and watching his eyes 🥹 I’m so proud of Vito ♥️ He’s phenomenal and Ellie lived up to him!

OMG❤❤well done Ellie and Vito👍Goosebumps when i watch Vito dance this. Awesome😘

What an outstanding dance I've been watching it all day. Absolutely awesome, jaw dropping. Come on Ellie you are a star,!!!!!!! ❤

It’s a 10 from me… I loved this performance. ❤ This suited Elle perfectly and I could watch Vito all day, he is a true performer. ❤

I’m crying at how incredible this dance is, the intensity is completely off the charts! THIS is what strictly is all about!

Should’ve been top of the leaderboard tbh it was the best dance of the night ❤

This has to be up there with my favourite pass’s on strictly, probably up there with all time fav dances on strictly!!! How anton and Shirley could say how perfect it was but then only give a 9 is beyond me, like it’s expected from Craig (thank god for motsi ❤)

Ellie was good as any professional with that dance,outstanding

Wow! Ellie and Vito that was sensational. What a paso doble. Best dance of the night for me. Ellie you go from strength to strength. Winners!!!!!! 👏

Absolutely incredible the best dance of the whole series, and definitely should of been a 40, cannot wait to see what they do next week ❤ x

This was so insanely good. They are a freaking force together!!!! Mwah!! I love them as a pair!!!!

My favourite Paso Doble ever. It had everything power, control, expression and also the way Vito and Ellie connected was great. The music track Insomnia Faithless was brilliant for this dance.

This was insane...best dance of the night for me. Great strength and balance. Loved it.

That was phenomenal!!! Had everything I wanted in a paso doble!!! What a couple! 10/10

Ellie has been consistently fabulous.

Just wow. This tune took me through many a clubbing night. In my 50’s loving strictly. Paso doble on of my favourite dances. Footwork routine incredible This has ticked all my boxes. 10 from me.

This dance jumped into my all time top 3 dances of Strictly along with Anita/Gleb’s paso and Jay/Aliona’s jive. Deserved 40!

My favourites since day one

My favourite couple since the launch show, and I loved this Paso. I would have like a tiny bit more content in the last section instead of what seemed to be just walking about, but it was very dramatic and well got deserved scores. Dave Arch is a legend with his musical arrangements.
