Ellie & Vito American Smooth to Ain't That A Kick In The Head by Robbie Williams ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

I have a feeling we may see this old Hollywood number again in the final. They’re the most consistent couple in the competition this series 🪩 Ellie and Vito are on their way to victory and lifting the glitter ball ! 🪩

This was incredible; it was like watching a film with Fred and Ginger - the golden age of Hollywood shone on the floor, thanks to this amazing couple. Thank you Ellie and Vito, and well done 😊

To borrow one of Craig’s comments, that was FABULOUS. Ellie’s timing and musicality were amazingly and her enjoyment in the dance was a joy to behold. These two are the ones to beat this year imo.

Ellie and Vito have been my winners since week 1 and they are proving why week after week. She is consistently great and she suits any style of dance. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Ellie is so fabulous and I am just in love with Vito’s choreography each week. He really is amazing. They are my winners 🪩

They’ll win the show. They’re gathering steam with the public and the judges. They so charming, fun and talented.

Ellie is already this year's winner for me, another 10/10 performance 👏👏

My actual freakin god. How amazing could you make this?! The timing was spot on! Ellie is the one to watch in the competition! I reckon she might have a potential of winning! Performances like this, wow! This and their Paso Doble are my favourite dances they’ve done! They’ve just blew everything off me! Outstanding!

I could not take my eyes off Vito. Had to watch it several times so I could watch them as a couple. Lol. Beautiful.

I love Ellie and Vito. They have no 'back story', they are just 2 vey likeable hard working young people who are getting on with the job. She is an amazing dancer and I really want them to win. This American Smooth was probably the best ever on strictly.

Oh my word this was just utterly stunning. Normally I'm not a massive fan of the American Smooth (I don't know why but sometimes it leaves me a little cold) but this one didn't it was smooth, classy, stylish and had everything you want. 10.

How was this not a 40? Loved this dance and this couple. Any other series and that would have been awarded four tens for sure. They’re definitely my winners.

Absolutely wonderful! Can't stop watching it. Well done to the gorgeous Vito and his wonderful partner.

Vito is a treasure! What a teacher! Ellie and Vito to lift the glitter ball!

This dance was absolutely incredible! I really hope Ellie and Vito end up winning the competition! ❤😊

So lovely! She's a natural and they're adorable together 💖

Love, love, LOVE Vito. He brings the best out of his celebrity partners. Ellie is doing fantastically well. Bravo to both of them.

Oh my goodness Vito looks fabulous in tails I think this is my favourite dance this year and we are now past the quarter finals

The game has FINALLY changed, Ellie is the one to beat in the competition! The other contestants have better watch out because they have a lot of work to do to knock the modern day Fred & Ginger out of the park. Simply stunning performance, deserved scores if not a full house, superb!

I hope these two get to do the Argentine Tango I bet they will make that dance memorable

I do my own scoring when I'm watching. I've not scored anything 10 this series so far. This was the closest I have come so far to giving this the perfect mark. Stunning dance. Brilliant musicality, stunning lifts. My idea of the winner and Vito is the best thing to happen to the show in a long time.

This was sensational, every accent was hit with so much precision and such musicality. She oozed class and style throughout the dance but most importantly the sheer joy shone through above all else. Easily the dance of the series!

Vito is a marvellous dancer, I love watching him and he has done a brilliant job with Ellie, she is brilliant now. Definitely the winners.

So Fred and Ginger! Simply fabulous. I do hope they win. The choreography and execution was exceptional.

So joyful, classy and perfectly executed. This young lady feels the music from head to toe.

One of the best American Smooths that has been on Strictly 👏🏼

Absolutely amazing . Like 2 professionals not 1! Ellie favorite to win and Vito looked soo handsome x

🥰They both look so happy dancing together!! 🥰 Vito seems so at ease and just enjoying the dance ... Love them together 💞

Vito is an extremely elegant but still very masculine dancer. Lucky Ellie!

They never fail to smash it! I mean talk about a night in Chicago coming to life, THERE YOU GO!! A ONE WAY TICKET TO WINNING!! I'm team Ellie and Vito all the way!!! I can't stop Smiling from watching this dance!!

I have a feeling these 2 will lift the glitter ball trophy! She has a very natural talent

🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. Loved this glorious, delightful , elegant dance ❤😂 Wonderful performance

Judge' scores ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Craig - 9 Motsi - *10!* Shirley - *10!* Anton - *10!* Total - 39

Score - *10/10!* This was my favourite dance of the night!!! Ellie is on Layton's toes atm and she has arrived shining and full of attack. It was really nice to see a dance full of transitions and flashy moments actually look effortless and continuous with the flow. I loved all the Jazz, the lifts, the lines, the Foxtrot, the acting and the theatrical pizzazz it brought. I absolutely loved it as much as everyone else it was a proper showstopping, classic and musical performance with perfect technique. This couple have arrived, their chemisry is above room temperature and they aren't leaving that's for sure!

I say this every week now for Ellie but again dance of the season! Absolutely incredible 10/10

This dance makes my heart sing every time I watch it. Sheer magic! Ellie and Vito to WIN!! 💞

This was brilliant. Agreed with the judges it was definitely giving final vibes.

He is such a spiffy turn

Vito is so innocent and humble.. Love that guy ❤

Omg absolutely Amazing ❤️Ellie and Vito this year's winners without a doubt ❤️❤️❤️

By far the best dance of the night Ellie and Vito was amazing

Classy proper Fred & Ginger American Smooth, such a good partnership ! This year's winners.

BEST FEMALE DANCER OF THE NIGHT !..😍

This was exactly like watching Fred and Ginger. Quite amazing really as I’m not a huge fan of American Smooth. These two young people nailed it for me. Sheer class. What a dancer she is. Just give her the glitterball now. That’s how talented she is. 10 from me.

Love love loved this!! Reminded me of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers!!! Loved this dance, my favorite of the night!!!

Well done Ellie and Vito, best dance for a long time, your dress was stunning xx

It was lovely to watch a touch of the old times in that routine superb dance she will win

They changed it up for the final ever so slightly by adding a lift toward the end and it looked way better

She's totally amazing.
