Ellie Taylor has been eliminated from this year\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>, becoming the ninth celebrity to leave the competition as we head towards the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Regular viewers of the show had been concerned about Ellie\u2019s future<\/a> after her Thelma & Louise-inspired jive was blasted by judge Craig Revel Horwood, who gave her just 5 points and branded it \u201clacklustre\u201d.<\/p>\n

The judges\u2019 scores put her in last place on the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard<\/a>, while the public vote landing her in the dance-off against singer-songwriter Fleur East<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After both contestants performed their routines once more, the judges decided unanimously to save Fleur, with all four citing her superior technique as the reason why they wanted her back next week.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her Strictly journey, Ellie said: \u201cI\u2019m going to be a clich\u00e9 machine now, but it\u2019s been everything and more. I never in a million years expected to be in for this long and to experience it so fully.<\/p>

\u201cStrictly is about dancing but it\u2019s also about the people, and every part of this show from the top to bottom, from the execs to the make-up, to the hair to the costumes, to the sets to the band, to my fellow celebs and the dancers \u2013 even some of the judges have been alright!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute privilege to become part of the Strictly alumni and I\u2019ve really really loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie also had kind words to say about her professional partner Johannes Radebe, turning to him to deliver some heartfelt thanks for his support throughout the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are as wonderful as everyone said you would be,\u201d she told him. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve said you\u2019re like human sunshine and you really really are. You see people and you saw me, at every point.<\/p>\n
