Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two: Ellie Goldstein among tonight's line-up for the BBC2 spin-off
It comes following rumours Ellie has 'left' the BBC showEllie Goldstein will be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two tonight alongside her pro partner Vito Coppola.
The actress and model, 23, will be on the sofa alongside 33-year-old Italian dancer Vito to talk about their Strictly journey.
Ellie and Vito will also chat about their training for this weekend’s Movie Week, which sees them take on The Barbie Movie.
The star’s appearance on the BBC2 show comes amid widespread rumours that she has left Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Fake news reports have been circulating online that claim Ellie has quit Strictly.
But seeing Ellie sat on the Strictly: It Takes Two sofa tonight will quickly put paid to all the nonsense!
Who else is on Strictly: It Takes Two tonight?
Ellie and Vito aren’t the only Strictly competitors lined up for tonight’s Strictly: It Takes Two. Joining them on the show will be Neighbours star Stefan Dennis and his partner Dianne Buswell.
Rugby ace Chris Robshaw and his pro, Nadia Bychkova, will also be in the studio. The pair narrowly avoided elimination on Sunday night after finding themselves in the first dance-off of the 2025 series.
Chris and Nadia had performed a Viennese Waltz to To Die with a Smile by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga during Saturday’s live show. Unfortunately, it was not enough to impress the viewers at home and they ended up in the bottom two alongside Apprentice star Thomas Skinner and his partner, Amy Dowden.
Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood unanimously voted to save Chris and Nadia.
The pair will now talk about how they are picking themselves up and carrying on during their Strictly: It Takes Two appearance. Chris and Nadia are also expected to reveal their dance and film theme for Movie Week, as are Stefan and Dianne.
