Gone too soon
GIOVANNI Pernice reckons Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin left Strictly “way too early” last week.
The Ukrainian pro and Paralympian swimmer Ellie, right, were in the dance-off against Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu.
After their eviction, Nikita wrote a tribute to Ellie, 27, posting: “I may have taught you dancing but you taught me so much about compassion, sincerity, love and so much about life.”
Giovanni, 32, who won last year with Rose Ayling-Ellis commented that they had left the show “way too early” and should both “be proud of what you have achieved”.
Rose, 27, added: “Absolutely love watching you both. You both have shown boundaries can be pushed. Always be so so proud of this!”
