One Strictly Come Dancing couple thoroughly impressed viewers last night as fans dubbed them "pure magic".

Saturday's show saw the remaining couples take to the dance floor for Blackpool week. Ellie Leach and Vito Coppolla's take on the Charleston made them the standout couple for some fans who preemptively declared them winners of the show.

Ellie, 22, and Vito, 31, performed to Love Machine by Girls Aloud, scoring an impressive 39 points from the judges as fans raved about the 'flawless' routine.

Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to lavish praise on the couple, reports the Mirror. One fan declared: "Ellie and Vito are PURE MAGIC. this was cute, fun, high energy and INCREDIBLE. my winners. #strictly"

Some said claimed they deserved a perfect score, as one viewer penned: "Ellie and Vito deserved a 40 for that in my opinion! Those lifts and choreography! A-Mazing"

Another said: What do you have to do in #StrictlyComeDancing to get 40!! Ellie & Vito should have got 4 tens - same last week. Flipping heck @CraigRevHorwood find your 10 paddle! #Strictly"

Another joked: "I’m filing complaints to Ofcom if Ellie and Vito don’t win Strictly this year." And a different fan said: "ellie and vito are my winners, incredible #strictly!"

A third wrote: "The JOY Ellie and Vito bring to literally every show. LOVE these two. They're my winners already. #Strictly!"

Among the other couples were Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin danced a Couple's Choice to Ain't No Other Man by Christina Aguilera, Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe did an American Smooth to Unchained Melody by Benedetta Caretta. It was a Quickstep for Nigel Harman and Katya Jones who performed to It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) by Duke Ellington.

Viewers also saw a Jive from Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham!, an American Smooth from Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington to Tea for Two by Ella Fitzgerald, and an Argentine Tango from Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu danced the Argentine Tango to Back To Black by Amy Winehouse.

Last week's show saw some unhappy viewers claim the judges' decision to save Angela, 79, following the dance-off was a "fix". Angela and her professional dance partner, Kai, 28, were saved over Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley by three out of four judges.

One person said on X: "Of course Strictly fixed it for Angela to stay in for Blackpool. Angela used to host Come Dancing for years...they're going to do a Come Dancing history special, then she'll be voted out. She tripped in the dance-off FFS."

Another wrote: "Sorry this is such a fix. How can you say 'Angela, you literally almost fell over. Krishnan you were significantly better but I'm still gonna save Angela?' This is such a fix. Never agreed with Shirley before wtf is going on?" while a different account furiously added: "What a stinking fix!"

Strictly Come Dancing continues every Saturday with the results show airing on Sunday on BBC One.
