Strictly Come Dancing has seen its fifth couple eliminated from the 2025 series

Strictly Come Dancing has aired the fifth elimination of the 2025 series.

This year’s couples graced the dance floor on Saturday night (November 1) with a variety of eerie performances for Halloween week.

After combining the judges’ scores with viewer votes on Sunday (November 2), Vogue cover star Ellie Goldstein and her partner Vito Coppola found themselves in the dance-off against EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.

Ellie and Vito were first to take to the floor, performing their Tango to Abracadabra by Lady Gaga. Balvinder and Julian then battled to win over the judges with their Rumba to Stay by Shakespears Sister.

The judges unanimously voted to save Balvinder and Julian, resulting in Ellie and Vito becoming the fifth couple to be eliminated from the competition, reports Wales Online.

Host Tess Daly took a moment to commend the pair’s partnership, telling Vito: “Everyone behind the scenes, everyone in front of the camera, everyone at home, can see what an incredible partnership you have had with Ellie and just how much it means to you.”

The Italian professional dancer then expressed his feelings to Ellie, saying: “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.

“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.”

When asked about her experience dancing alongside Vito, Ellie gushed: “I’ve enjoyed it so much! He is a kind person and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito].”
