Strictly Come Dancing spoilers follow.
Strictly Come Dancing has revealed the fifth celebrity to be eliminated from the show, as model and actor Ellie Goldstein exited the competition. Ellie and her professional partner Vito Coppola were the latest couple to face Balvinder Sopal and pro Julian Caillon in the dance-off, after finding themselves in the Bottom Two during Halloween Week.
In tonight's results show, Ellie and Vito once again danced their Tango to Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' in a final attempt at impressing the judges. Meanwhile, EastEnders' Balvinder and Julian gave another performance of their Rumba to 'Stay' by Shakespears Sister.
Though the episode marked Balvinder's third dance-off of the series, judges - Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood - once again saved the soap star in an unanimous decision.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas didn't need to use her casting vote, but said she would've also saved Balvinder and Julian this week.

Following their elimination, an emotional Vito praised his "little sister" Ellie, and thanked her for making him a "better person".
"Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you and you did really change my life so much. You made me such a better person," he gushed. "At the beginning of this year, I said to myself please, please, please can you send me a beautiful angel into my life? And now you arrived."

"I've never had a little sister but I always wanted one. Now, I have you and you're my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side."
Reflecting on her Strictly experience, Ellie added: "I've enjoyed it so much! [Vito] is a kind person and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito]."
The remaining nine couples will return to the dancefloor next Saturday (8 November) as the competition continues to heat up. Sunday (9 November) night's result show will feature a special performance from the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment to mark Remembrance Sunday.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
