Ellie & partner jive off
ELLIE Taylor became the ninth celebrity to depart Strictly last night.
The comic, 38, lost the dance-off against Fleur East, 35, who scored 10 points more with 35 for her steamy rumba with partner Vito Coppola, 30.
Ellie and 35-year-old pro partner Johannes Radebe’s fun jive was described as “messy and lacklustre” by Craig Revel Horwood, 57.
The Ted Lasso actress said: “I never, in a million years, expected to be in for this long and to experience it so fully. It’s been an absolute privilege.”
Meanwhile, Claudia Winkleman, 50, didn’t know who Hamza Yassin was when he signed up for the show – but she said she is now a huge fan of the wildlife presenter, 32.
