I don't care what anyone says, she DESERVED to do THAT Charleston AGAIN! it was the best dance of the series for me and was the best Charleston i've ever seen. This dance had the best lifts out of all the showdances especially at the end!

[@Cowman9791]

Yeah, thank god that final elimination has since been removed

[@effyleven]

She was so slender and light, even I could throw her around like a paper bag! The fact that she added so much grace to quite extreme lifts, including the famous Dirty Dancing one, was remarkable.

[@Damsel_in_This_Dress]

I really wanted her to get through to the next round, because I really wanted to see her Charleston again. Every time I tried to vote for her, all I got was an engaged tone. And I felt the judges under-marked her for most of the series.

[@verazett4755]

Sophie is amazing in everything she does!!!!! Wow wow wow!!! Fantastic

[@ALiimatainen]

Error 404 Not Found. Hey my dear BBC, the name correct is Sophie Ellis-"Bextor" no "Bexter".

Aida Kevin dranssfield cousin - thanks for a lovely evening on holiday with Marvin, yourself and Kevin Costner at the karaoke night. Thanks for putting me under your wing Aida 🤧👋🏻

[@HalidaSarahShahed]

Oh my my she's been my favourite since like the beginning of her groove jet project and now I just came to see how well she dances too 💖

[@axst]

no woman on earth comes close to her adorability

[@ricomon35]

Kylie ;)

[@kaliylinux]

no

[@ricomon35]

Анатолий Осмоловский Yes.

[@RoseTylerxx]

Seen her live twice-she's utterly adorable! Got the sweetest smile from her at Leeds Pride!

[@manuelflorez4212]

Ahahahahahahha 😂😂😂 of course there are those! She is in fact gorgeous but not way too much as you descibe her to be!

[@charlieistired6155]

Now, THAT was a showdance! They should’ve won, or at least got to the final three!

[@JoeCarswell]

7 years later and her name is still spelt wrong in the title...

[@lyshai.1720]

Shes such a good dancer!❤

[@sashaa_stevenss]

I ABSOLUTELY loved their lifts!

[@esraayousef5643]

it was surprising unexpected treat even the judges were taken by surprise, and I really hoped she performed that Charleston again, shame :(

[@blahdlah1920]

Why didn't she go through instead of Abbey, whose showdance was by far the worst? Though based on overall dance ability, Susanna should have been booted. Poor Sophie..

[@MarcelaAndrea-73]

What a beautiful and talented woman!

[@HannahGeorgina]

It is a shame that I felt Brendan's choreography wasn't up to the same level he had been for the rest of the series. Usually Sophie is amazing at lifts but the excessive amount made them look sloppy and the small bits of dancing she did do were a tad messy. Still wish she had got to the final 3 rather than Susanna but I feel like maybe this is what ruined their chances slightly.

[@KpopTwice1]

It's because the producers have a lot to do with picking almost EVERY thing when it comes to the show dances. It's a shame because some really don't showcase their best and that's what they're supposed to do but they're so intent on making all the finalists (four now..!) look different from another that they forget the authenticity and whole point of a show dance in the first place.

[@sashaa_stevenss]

Actually I would have said that Denise Van Outen had more lifts in her showdance! There were only lifts in the chorus whereas in Denise's showdance there were lifts every 30 seconds!

[@matthewimposter8010]

One word - LEGS!

[@isaiahcasados4894]

I have such massive respect for these women who dance so well in heels

[@RamonAlfonsoOMAR]

The most beautiful girl and those legs ...omg cause me chills

[@ivanlussich8146]

This strikingly beautiful lady dances marvelously and her outfit is graceful. Saludos from Uruguay

[@kazishacez25]

she's lovely but surely lacking spirit

[@baolbardotbulsara]

BextOr, please...! ;)

I Felt They Played It A Little Safe She Should Have Took More Risks

[@strictlyjudgesfan6107]

Just me that actually liked this one? ❤

[@GuerrillaSauce]

Jesus H Christ. When God was giving out legs there must have been an abundance of dwarves the next day! That looked incredible (the dance, not just the legs!).

[@deborahstern5952]

Very nice performance. I love it.

[@edwardharriss1463]

Too many lifts in my opinion, I never thought she was gonna do anything on the ground. Much as I would have loved to see her charleston again, I think the right person went out.

[@ssuu_nnna]

Que belleza la de Sophie, impecable ❤

[@seanspawn7805]

Love me a bit of Sophie. Not at all surprised you looked so good with a professional dancer. I imagine you have rhythm in your bones. Wish l saw that series, would have deffo been shouting for you unless of course u were head to head with Dara O Brian or Daniel O Donnell, got to fly the flag and all that stuff. Anyway for me Sophie Ellis B jumps my heart a wee life's better cause of dee.

[@phillipecook3227]

Gosh. She's so beautiful and elegant. One of Brendan's best routines.

[@jerimiegiray5296]

Just wait you and me on the dance floor I'll teach you adhani

[@LADIK7]

Sophie Rulezzz! :-)

[@horariogrupalcmi1116]

Who is Sophie Ellis "BEXTER"?

[@thebigloc1]

Sophie and Jill are my favourite all time Strictly contestants then Trixie.I felt Craig last year was having fights with Brendan and due to that taking it out on Sophie, under marking her. It was obvious by how they interacted when Brendan and Sophie would finish dancing. I felt a lot of weeks other judges under marked her. Like this year no way should Trixie have gone in the Quarter-Final. Many online have said Dracy looked shocked when Trixe was put out and it seemed she gave Simon a pity vote not expecting him to get through dance off. All the people each year moaning as some on it were former stage school kids, so what, they learn different dancing to strictly so not much of an advantage to them. I think Trixie, Colin, Sophie the best dancers to not win Strictly. Colin would have won if Erin had choreographed a better show dance not them dancing with puppets to show off how Colin can dance on his own.

[@sashaa_stevenss]

Ros Narun L 'O Connell i agree but it's not Trixie its PIXIE. And it's DARCEY. But I agree completely with you xx

[@terrydontwest915]

[@try2care]

Happened in Australia as well the judges are Strictly Jealous. They can't accept that a singer could be successful in another industry

[@carlamonsalve8773]

[@bartram33]

After Sophia Loren, Sophie-Ellis Backstop is the most desirable woman in the world!

[@janicesmyth1713]

These were the days when SCD was worth watching.

[@Mr_Fu_Manchu]

That was a treat like Charlestown dance, you can hit me with this kind of video anytime you want.

[@anarchist9186]

I didn’t know that Sophie tech dances great. Bravo !!!

[@OXOtwo]

I tried to vote for Sophie for 20 minutes but all I got was the engaged tone.I feel something was not right how come Sophie was never in the bottom two but the others were,I think the voting was steered with phone lines not accepting votes.The BBC will not reveal voting statistics ?

[@Damsel_in_This_Dress]

When I tried to vote for her, I got an engaged tone too. I called again and again, and each time I wasn't able to get through. I just assumed that loads of people were voting for her and that was why, so when she was the first one off, I was really shocked. I mean, her name was the first one that was called out when they announced who had got through to the final, and she was never in the dance-offs either. I didn't think Susannah did so well, I thought she would be out. The only way we'll know if the phone lines were rigged is if other people who voted for Sophie had the same problem.

[@thebigloc1]

Same happened last year with my friend in England who tried to vote for her.

[@MrRizaozal]

The amazing & stunning singer & dancer sophie. Wow.

[@alexd4362]

Ух и ножки!!!!
