Strictly Come Dancing result brings huge upset as star who was once favourite to win axed
Ellie Goldstein and partner Vito Coppola were eliminated after a close dance-off with Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, ending her run as an early favorite in series 23.
- On November 2, 2025, Ellie Goldstein, trailblazing model and actress, became the fifth celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing series 23 during the Halloween Week BBC result show.
- Landing in the bottom two, Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola scored 27 out of 40 for their Halloween Week tango to Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra', which left them low on the leaderboard against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
- Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse unanimously voted to save Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, eliminating Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola, while Shirley Ballas said she would have done the same.
- Following their elimination, Tess Daly told 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`, and Vito affirmed they would keep dancing together.
- Ellie's participation marked a milestone when she became the first model with Down syndrome on British Vogue cover, 2023, and her exit sparked mixed Strictly viewers' reactions, some saying she left 'way too soon' while others called it 'the correct result'.
