Strictly Come Dancing fans have 'new winner' as they 'work out' next exit

Strictly Come Dancing fans have declared that they have a "new winner" and think they have figured out the BBC One show's next exit.

The hit show returned for another night of glamour and sequins on Saturday as the hit series reached its halfway point. Nigel Harman and Katya Jones performed a Tango to Nothing Breaks Like a Heart by Mark Ronson ft Miley Cyrus, Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu danced the Samba to Ain’t It Funny by Jennifer Lopez while Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington performed a Waltz to Fascination by Nat King Cole.

Elsewhere, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin performed a Jive to Shake Ur Body by SHY FX & T Power feat Di, Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell performed an Argentine Tango to Sail by AWOLNATION and Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe did a Couple’s Choice to Wings by Birdy.

Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola's American Smooth stole the show and leaderboard

Meanwhile, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley danced a Couple’s Choice to You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon, Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk performed an American Rumba to Dancing On My Own by Calum Scott while Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola danced an American Smooth to Ain’t That A Kick In The Head by Robbie Williams.

And it was Ellie, 22, and Vito's, 31, American Smooth that stole the show, scoring an incredible 39 points and topping the leaderboard. Viewers were quick to announce that Ellie and Vito were their "new winners" after the impressive routine. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "Ellie and Vito - my winners #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly", a different account put: "Ellie and Vito, what a pairing! My winners #Strictly", another fan wrote: "Ellie is definitely my winner #StrictlyComeDancing #strictly #scd @bbcstrictly."

Elsewhere, on the bottom of the leaderboard, were Adam, 35, and Luba, 33, with many fans sadly predicting this could mean they are going home on Sunday, especially as they were in the dance-off last week. One person said: "Think Adam might be going home this week #strictly", a different account put: "I’m thinking Adam & Luba vs. Krishnan & Lauren for the dance off?", another viewer wrote: "Adam v Angela R dance off is my prediction, with Adam going" while a different viewer added: "I'm predicting Bobby and Adam in the dance-off, with Adam to go #Strictly."
