Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola Samba to Copacabana by Barry Manilow ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

Ellie & Vito are my winners. This dance was undermarked. Got all three of my votes

I felt she was underscored today. They killed it today. Great performance. 8/10

That's my winner. Good rhythm and great chemistry with her partner. Looks like she's enjoying herself also

obsessed with their chemistry

They were AMAZING! And the choreography was so difficult and so well done! Great!!! Undescored. They deserved much more! 💖🙌🏼🦩

This year, the youngest participants are doing great. I love Ellie and Bobby and I hope one of them wins. Ellie needs to believe in herself and she will be even better.

I never watch soaps so didn’t really know Ellie Leach. But wow, I’m falling in love with her dancing and personality. The Vito partnership. Bring me so much joy

Brilliant samba Ellie and Vito. Choreography was great, energy level off the chart. Ignore the judges scores you are the outstanding performers🥳👍

Ellie and Vito for me, she makes me happy when she smiles❤

They are such a great couple! Love them every week!

Ellie is a joy to watch, as is the fabulous Vito 😊

Ellie is getting better and better every week ❤❤

Undermarked Amazing Well done Ellie and Vito

Wow You rock every week on Stage ellie and Vito xx 😊

Underscored. I was surprised by the judges' comments. She deserved an 8.

I really enjoyed this dance! Ellie and Vito are so good together and I felt this dance was slightly underscored! ❤😊

58 seconds to 1 minute 1 second from Vito WOW!

Totally undermarked . Anton logic: 7 for ellie - 7 for eddy - 7 for krishnan - 8 for angel r. - 6 for jody !! How is this fair?😢

Great performance by Vito and his dance partner

Absolutely smashed it. That was a joy to watch.

I hope Ellie wins Strictly this year. Ellie has improved so much since week one. Not Ellie’s best dance but still really good and under marked.

amazing dance underscored again 9 ellie got all my votes

Undermarked much....I thought Ellie had great bounce and hip action tonight, definitely deserved to be in the top half of the leaderboard. 8/10

So this is what it Samba by a male is supposed to look like. The pro was outstanding

I like that the dances are twice as long as those on Dancing With the Stars, and it is much harder to tell who the pro is on SCD.

Go on Ellie go on Ellie go on girl you killed it tonight didn’t you I am rude for you are you are the favourite to win actually strictly come dancing you’re the best celebrity everc Lillian and I love you I love it I love Ellie I like love to tell you❤️❤️💋👏👏👍

Finally a Copacabana Samba by a ringer!!! Yus!!!

Definitely underscored she was brilliant

❤ Can't wait for Saturday. Voting Ellie and Vito. Hope it's a landslide.

Oh, I love her so much! She never disappoints! So consistent! So skilled! She's been so good every week and has never dipped! They really undermarked her, this deserved 8s. It's sad that she feels she let Vito down, because she didn't! She did so well, all she needs to do was put more energy in. It was brilliant! You go, Ellie

That is such a wonderfully done samba;.............all steps and moves perfectly in time with the music. GREAT!

The samba is such a tough dance and for week 4, I thought Ellie did a great job! 8/10

Well Done Ellie & Vito👏👏👏 You were amazing 🎉

Shucks, Vito! What a dance. Ellie, push on -- you could be a finalist with Vito!

Really great dance. if she keeps this up, she will be in the final.

Vitto my man

She is amazing

Aww she brings such joy to everyone and this show. I think she did exquisite! Lovely rotations and hip action but my my, what great outfits! Vito brings out the best in her and every week I can always see that she’s proud of herself as much as he’s proud of her too. Sadly I did spot the teeny teeny teeny teeny tiny mistake but incredible! Well done! She always looks like she’s having the time of her life, love her! Wonderful partnership and what a way to start our 4th week. Bravo you beauties! ❤

Winners of the glitter ball if justice prevails.

Wow. Ellie Leach has won Strictly Come Dancing 2023. She has beaten Bobby Brazier and Layton Williams in an emotional final. I loved watching Ellie dance. Ellie will always be our winner of Strictly Come Dancing this year. Ellie, well done.

I watched this live my brother and my bestie adored it very well done Ellie for learning and well done Vito for teaching it to Ellie very very well don't can't wait to see you dance next week for week 5 btw it is my birthday today!!!!

Damn. I think I just got pregnant watching Vito's dancing

Nothing to do about the show, but Vito is the best prof dancer.

Woooooooooo

Ellie and Vito - Week 4 🌟 Dance: Samba Scores- Craig: 7 Motsi: 7 Shirley: 7 Anton: 7 Total: 28 Joint 7th/13 on the leaderboard Result: Safe

It was always going to be difficult when Fleur set the bar so sky high last year! She was deffo undermarked though but she will have up and down weeks but this was not weak compared to others. Love Ellito! she can’t go home yet!

Vito...Phew 🥵🥵

To judges: don't say 'What a way to start the show" about a dance, and then only give it 7s!

Brilliant

Scores: Craig-7 Motsi-7 Shirley-7 Anton-7 Total= 28

Fantastic!!!

U saw ellie on the one show Vito and said that's my girl go for it Vito u have a great bond don't lose her she is not interested in bobby u both love each other very much its plain to see ❤❤❤❤❤❤

They were cutest 🥰😍🥰😍😍😍😍😍

Score - *8/10* Again, up too early to score high, was it perfect? no, did it deserve atleast one 8? Yes! The upper body was so rhythmical and full of flow and energy. I liked the take on the Samba roll and there was a great amount of bounce. Ellie left her inhibitions at the door and she came out and showed us abit of her, I thought she did so so well, push her weight abit more backwards and more ground in her footwork and it will be 10's very soon I think. Very good job for a Samba, it was great. I loved the showy and flirtatious side of this, it was really stylish.

she reminds me of Jill Halfpenny

Underscore, they deserve 8's

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I got distracted by Vito's bare chest so I had to watch it again. Second time. That was sexy samba!! It's a tough choreography but Ellie's did it so well. Hips were working baby!! Deserved a better score. 8/10

I hate that Tess cursed this by saying Ellie has always been top 3 up until this point. Still great for Ellie! She is still higher than average. 🩷🩷🩷

Thought the dance was amazing, love watching Ellie xx

Strictly Come Dancing Week Four. First up is Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola dancing the Samba. Everyone in Strictly and watching at home knows that Samba is a tough dance to get and Ellie did really well to up with the dance and I saw next to no bonce action maybe that had to to with the fact that Vito had acted to meany moves into the dance it was going very quick however Ellie had great energy and did good this week.

You have real Style Ellie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

iT I lovelove 💖💖👏👏💋

This is THE couple!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ellie Leach e Vito Coppola são uma dupla perfeita! Sua performance de samba no programa BBC Strictly 2023 foi espetacular! A coreografia foi incrível e a energia entre eles era palpável. Estou ansioso para ver o resultado final 😍🕺 #ellieleach #vitocoppola #bbcstrictly #samba

I have visions of Simon Rimmer and Karen 86 doing this dance. As for lilly making fun with her workouts, I thought that was cruel 76. I have nothing but kindness for that girl.

Didn’t expect the “she lost her love” part to come at the end of the first chorus! Holy sh*t! 😱

8 points total 28

Pretty in pink :) she is great very fluid lol. Have a good day reader :)

1:29

They were robbed on this one - totally undermarked!

Undermarked

They should have gone higher it would've been a 9 when I judged it myself

Very bright and bouncy, and I liked the commitment! Unfortunately she was slightly out of time at the end. My score: 7

our scores: me: 8 diya: 8 kelsey: 8 owen: 8 32/40 from the waist up she was amazing, downstairs she needed to be a bit more free and that would’ve been made easier if her feet were turned out, however, the details in this- shes amazing. absolutely deserves to be in the final.

Me-8 My mum-10 My sis-10 My nan-8 36/40

Its Mileys mum faye from Corrie

ALANFORD DO U NEED TO GO TO SPECS SAVERS ELLIE WAS AMAZING IN THIS DANCE

This was good but for me her weakest dance but I'm not surprised since it is the Samba, I did expect the choreography to be a bit better from Vito after last year though 7/10

Ellie brought great energy and personality to this performance, to the point where it felt a little bit forced. She also needs to get her weight more forward and soften her knees which will help the samba action come through. 7

i hate when people do samba and don't do the shadow reverse roll. it's the only thing we want to see. :(

So this was ok. But I'll be controversial although I saw samba content I didn't see the bounce action that is needed for it but that might just be me so please don't hate me for that. 6.
