Ellie Simmonds has compared\u00a0her Strictly Come Dancing exit<\/a>\u00a0to experiencing \u201ca heartbreak\u201d as she and pro dancer partner Nikita Kuzmin became the latest couple to leave the BBC One competition on Sunday night (November 6th).<\/p>\n

The Paralympic champion and broadcaster was in the bottom two and lost out with her Charleston to Too Darn Hot by Kiss Me Kate<\/a> to Molly Rainford<\/a> and Carlos Gu\u2019s Foxtrot to You Make Me Happy by My Sun and My Stars.<\/p>\n

Speaking for the first time since her exit on BBC Two\u2019s Strictly \u2013 It Takes Two, Ellie told host Rylan Clark: \u201cI found yesterday and today a bit like going through a heartbreak, Strictly is everything and it\u2019s been the most incredible time. We\u2019ve been doing it seven weeks now and now it\u2019s all over all of a sudden. It\u2019s so sad but I cannot wait to see them all dance incredibly. I\u2019m going to be supporting them all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie’s certainly going to keeeep dancing – from the #Strictly<\/a> ballroom to Cheshire!@EllieSimmonds1<\/a> @kuzmin__nikita<\/a> @Rylan<\/a> #ItTakesTwo<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/a18boR9vFI<\/a><\/p>\u2014 BBC Strictly \u2728 (@bbcstrictly) November 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
