Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola Cha Cha Cha to Mambo Italiano by Bette Midler ✨ BBC Strictly 2023

[@bessieburnet9816]

Wheeeeeewwww... _You don't see much Cha Chas like this on Strictly!!_ Oh, enough foistering it on beginners, this is what happens when you give it to a seasoned dancer!!! This is the true potential of the Cha Cha Cha!! There's my winner! Slaying as usual!! The flurry of feet!! She has perfected each technique! She is so confident! She is the guaranteed finalist!!

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

One of my favourite by Ellie and Vito!

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

Also agree with What you posted.

[@grahamejbrown]

She wasn’t a seasoned dancer a few short weeks ago 😊

[@lauramcnally3452]

Exactly, they always put cha chas so early I never knew I would enjoy them!

[@harrysamuppet6804]

The way Ellie executed that cha cha was incredible. She had the technique off to perfection. Straight leg & every step clipped to the beat. To look good next to Vito is an achievement in itself. Vito just explodes onto the dance floor. He is without doubt the best Latin American professional ever.

[@vanessalouise8988]

Vito has won 11 italian championships in he dancing career this is he second year in the final of Strictly Come Dancing.

[@janeholstead3745]

You can keep Giovanni, Vito is just Fab - U - Lous, dahling!!! 😉

[@vanessalouise8988]

[@spaniardsrmoors6817]

He's ITALIAN-American not latin-american.

[@harrysamuppet6804]

@@spaniardsrmoors6817I was referring to the type of dance. The cha cha is Latin American.

[@ethanmccloskey8924]

Oh. My. GAWDDDDD!!! The chemistry and the choreography and the legs and the hips and the outfits and the music- I am SHOOKETH! I was worried abt a cha cha this late on but she killed it, brought it back to life only to KILL IT AGAINN!! My personal dance of the night! MY WINNER!!!

[@HeartCoils]

I absolutely loved it! Ellie is the cha cha queen! My winners right here! They looked absolutely incredible, especially Ellie - just beautiful!

[@maryclynch9356]

Totally agree. Vito has brought out the best in her. 🌹

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

That song is stuck in my head, one of the best cha cha cha's ever imo i loved it so much 10/10

[@splinky45]

Check out Rosemary Clooney' version. Her's was the original

[@SkincareObsessedxoxo]

OH MY GOSH, ELLIE!! 🤩 This was probably my favorite dance of the night, the theme was everything for a start!! *HOW* has she not yet got a 40?! I absolutely loved this, nothing more to say! ELLIE AND VITO TO WIN!!! 💕

[@angellouise2235]

Ellie you have blossomed so much under Vito’s guidance. He oozes so much passion.

[@weronikapachocka4075]

Vito is so great that usually I cannot stop looking at him. But today it was ALL ELLIE! She’s so confident, so sexy, absolutely amazing! Absolut star, team ELLIE & Vito for the win. Go there Queen and get that fully deserved trophy🎉

[@aw8885]

I'm nerding out about Vito's choreography. THE THINGS HE ADDS TO SUIT THE LYRICSSS THE LITTLE RUMBA STEPS AND THE TARANTELLA KICKS HE WOULDN'T SHUT UP ABOUT (/pos) OMGGGG :)))))))))) he's such an attentive choreographer and knows just what to do to make his partners shine :)))))))) Definitely my favourite choreographer in the cast currently, and possibly ever on this show!

[@mione134]

Vito and Ellie are constantly giving us 10 performances and yet, the are underscored.

[@MarionFindlay-s9s]

Always underscored😢

[@TheFootballBanter]

Coz the judges wanted layton to win. They got thier come uppance in the end with our girl ellie when she was the deserved winner.

[@rosepetal34]

@@TheFootballBanter and then Layton won the tour so they both won

[@LovedByYou]

Definitely my favorite Cha Cha of the series. Loved the choreography and she had really good leg action. I enjoyed the playfulness a lot.

[@jaimepardo]

I love this!! Hands down my favourite dance of the series & Ellie & Vito my favourite couple

[@danyser9]

I love Vito’s choreography! ♥️ He’s brilliant and Ellie is sensational! 🙌🏼💯

Craig how can this dance be ‘too polite!,’ it looked sexy, edgy got me going! It was absolutely amazing best dance of the night

[@sublimebeauty1]

Wow! The choreography was fantastic.

[@anthonymorris5356]

Absolutely outstanding dancing from Ellie. She will win, won't she? Incredibly consistent across both Latin and Ballroom, it would be a deserved victory.

[@rumbarumba1]

Exactly she deserves the win

[@kimmason1275]

Very undermarked, my favourite couple. ❤

[@debbiereigate705]

In all the years I’ve been watching strictly I’ve never seen a Cha Cha like that. It’s usually very formulaic and samey. Amazing choreography and a brilliant performance. The judges did not give that choreography enough credit. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@True20221]

Can’t stop watching this she is fantastic

[@mattjones9843]

This is why I was harsh on her quickstep last week. She doesn’t need all the staging and extra dancers because she is a phenomenal dancer in her own right. Vito did not go easy on her. There was a LOT of footwork jam packed into that dance and she didn’t have a toe out of place. A master class in cha cha. (10)

[@samuelsanthaguru]

AMAZING. well done! WE ARE ELLIE VITO FANS!!!!!

[@wendyc3833]

We knew Layton was going to be good coming into this but Ellie has been the surprise 'winner' for me. I know they all want to hold that glitterball, of course they do after all the work they've put into this but Ellie's the real winner for me. My expectations vs how's she's done, WOW!

[@andrewgold-qu1bl]

Ellie and vito dance was amazing and fabulous

[@daviddillon172]
