Strictly Come Dancing fans were left emotional after watching Ellie Goldstein’s “beautiful” performance on the programme.

The model is one of the many famous faces taking part in this year’s series of the glitzy BBC One show. Partnered with Vito Coppola, the pair have become firm favourites with viewers.

On Saturday (October 4) Ellie and Vito were back on the dance floor for the second live show, after she was captured looking teary last week. And it’s fair to say there was not a dry eye in the house after Ellie and Vito’s “wholesome” performance.

As for Ellie, she performed a waltz with Vito to Elton John’s Your Song. The actress looked stunning in a sparkly frock, while Vito looked dapper in a purple suit.

As for feedback, Shirley Ballas gushed: “Boy, can you spin, girl? Well done, you.” Meanwhile, Anton Du Bdke agreed: “Your underarm spins are an absolute delight.

“Your feet are coming together, beautiful. If you’re going to continue to improve all the things that everybody asks you to do, you’re going to be unstoppable.”

The pair ended up getting an impressive score of 23 from the judges.

Ellie sparked concern last week

Meanwhile last week, viewers were worried that Ellie looked close to tears.

And, while Ellie looked like she thoroughly enjoyed the performance, some were concerned that the excitement of the live show may have been a bit much for the youngster.

Contestant Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and pros, Karen Hauer and Dianne Buswell, all stepped in to comfort her, sparking further rumours that the Vogue cover star was not okay.

Fans took to social media tweeting that she looked “overwhelmed” or “upset”. However, Ellie later clarified that her watery eyes were nothing to worry about.
