Strictly Come Dancing fans are RINGING about Vito Coppola and Ellie Leach’s score: ‘I’m sick of them not making it to 40!’
It was music week on Strictly and on Saturday evening the couples took to the floor for a series of dazzling numbers.
It was a dramatic episode after it was revealed earlier on Saturday that Nigel Harman had been forced to leave the show due to an injury suffered during rehearsals for his Charleston.
Still, fans were left outraged by one couple’s scores, claiming Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were once again underrated.
Despite being at the top of the leaderboard for several weeks, the pair are still yet to achieve a perfect 40 as judge Craig Revel Horwood has refused to use his 10 paddle for them.
Ellie and Vito danced the quickstep to Beauty And The Beast’s Belle as they opened the show with another stunning performance.

Yet the pair once again failed to score a perfect 40 as they received four nines from the judges, leaving them in second place on the leaderboard with 36.
And loyal fans took to Twitter to share their anger at the soap star’s scores.
One wrote: ‘I’m sick of Ellie and Vito not making it to 40!’
A second asked: “So all three judges have nothing bad to say but give Ellie and Vito a 9!? When will they get the 40 they deserve.”
Another added: “I’ve lost count of how many Ellie and Vito performances should have been perfect 40… I mean what more could they want?”
A fourth wrote: ‘Jeezus Ellie! That was INCREDIBLE! She is amazing! There’s no dance she can’t do! Perfection!’
Another fan wrote: ‘Gorgeous Beauty and the Beast #Strictly Ellie and Vito. I loved that.’
While another said: ‘No, this dance is insane. Ellie and Vito win this, right?

‘It’s my favorite Disney movie and I really love Ellie, so I may be a little generous, but I loved that. She did so well when she was away from Vito,” wrote another.
Another viewer wrote: ‘Why did the ladies write down Ellie and Vito after those comments?
Another wrote: ‘A bit behind, sorry, but why didn’t Ellie and Vito get tens? #Strict’
And someone else added: ‘So we all agree Ellie and Vito win? Ok nice.’
Still, the pair didn’t convince all fans, as other viewers admitted it wasn’t their favorite performance from the couple.
They wrote: ‘Ellie and Vito – there was a little too much going on for me, it took too long to dance with Vito, but the quick step they did was fantastic – Vito though….. soooooooooon. Great story telling 9’.
Another wrote: ‘I didn’t like Ellie and Vito much this week, there was no point in routine. Why is Belle dancing happily with Gaston? She’s still my winner, but that wasn’t the best thing they did.’
A third chimed in: ‘Should have given Ellie and Vito Be Our Guest, that would have been a better quickstep I think.’

Meanwhile, presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman said they were ‘devastated’ as they spoke about Nigel’s shock departure from the show.
They announced that there would be no public voting or elimination this week, but the judges would still give their comments and marks.
Claudia said: ‘We only have four couples. Unfortunately, Nigel has suffered an injury and has had to withdraw from the competition.’
Tess continued: ‘We are as devastated as he is, but Nigel and Katya will talk to us later in the show.
“That means there will be no public vote tonight and no elimination, except for the judges will still score and those scores will carry over. You can vote as usual next week.’
Nigel quit Strictly Come Dancing just hours before Saturday night’s live show after suffering an injury.
