Strictly Come Dancing star breaks silence on 'difficult' week
Strictly Come Dancing star Balvinder Sopal found herself in the dance-off with Ellie Goldstein
After a thrilling Strictly Come Dancing show on Saturday night, Balvinder Sopal found herself in the dance-off against Ellie Goldstein.
Balvinder and her professional partner Julian Caillon reprised their Rumba to Stay by Shakespears Sister, while Ellie and Vito Coppola performed their Tango to Abracadabra by Lady Gaga once more.
Following the second performances of both couples, the judges made their decision and chose to save Balvinder and Julian.
Post-dance-off, Balvinder posted a photo of herself and Julian performing on Instagram, captioning it: "I loved dancing the Rumba with @Julian_caillon. This was a gorgeous pay off to a very difficult week."
This followed Julian's post of photos from their performance, declaring it their "favourite dance yet", reports Wales Online.
"Which I can't believe we're saying considering where we started with the Rumba," he wrote.
"This week more than ever I saw @leesopal grow and improve as a dancer. From the technique to the performance there was absolutely nothing more she could've done, and I absolutely loved dancing this routine together.
"Make sure you're tuning into the results show tonight to see if we "Stay" in the competition."
Meanwhile, on the Strictly results show, Vito had some heartfelt words for Ellie after their elimination.
"Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you and you did really change my life so much," he said.
"You made me such a better person. At the beginning of this year, I said to myself please, please, please can you send me a beautiful angel into my life? And now you arrived.
"I've never had a little sister but I always wanted one. Now, I have you and you're my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side."
Nine couples remain in the competition and will perform next Saturday when the professional dancers will be accompanied by the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment in a special tribute to Remembrance Sunday.
