Ellie Taylor has left Strictly Come Dancing, as many fans were left fuming by the fact that Fleur East was in the dance-off for a third time, just a week after she got the first perfect score of the new series.
Ellie finished bottom of the Strictly leaderboard at the end of Saturday night's live show, when he jive only got 25 out of 40 from the judges, with Craig Revel-Horwood particularly harsh, as he awarded just 5 for the routine. That meant Ellie and pro partner Johannes Radebe had an uphill battle going into the public vote, relying on fans to keep them in for another week.
And sadly for the, their first appearance in the dance-off proved to be their last, as all four judges voted to keep Fleur and pro partner Vito Coppola in, after both couples reprised their dances. Fleur and Vito's passionate rumba to Sugababes' Too Lost in You scored much higher than Ellie adn Johannes' jive, getting 35 out of 40.

But, the couple, who finished top of the standings just seven days earlier in Blackpool, when their Couples Choice got 40 out of 40 ended up being in the bottom two for a third time and had to fight to keep their place in the competition. And the fact they were in the bottom two again left many fans at home furious.
While Fleur said she 'wasn't surprised' to be in the dance off, many people were angry on her behalf. Taking to Twitter, one viewer ranted: "FLEUR WAS IN THE BOTTOM TWO AGAIN?! WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE! WHY DO YOU HATE HER?"
Equally annoyed, a second tweeted: "how many times are fleur or molly going to be in the bottom two when they don’t deserve to be," and a third reacting: "Fleur shouldn't be in the bottom two - not sure why the public don't rate her - think she's amazing."
