Ellie Simmonds becomes sixth celebrity booted off Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Simmonds became the sixth star to be booted off the show on Sunday night.

The Paralympian swimming champion faced off against CBBC star Molly Rainford in the show's dreaded dance-off as both couples had to perform their routines again for the judges. Ellie, 27, and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, 24, performed their Charleston to Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me Kate as Molly, 21, and partner Carlos Gu, 28, danced their Foxtrot to You Make Me Happy by My Sun and My Stars.

After the nail-biting dance-off, the judges delivered a unanimous vote to save Molly and Carlos leaving Ellie and Nikita as the next to leave the competition. Craig Revel Horwood said: "Well the couple I’d like to save are a couple that I think danced better than they did on Saturday night, in this particular dance off and that couple is Molly and Carlos."
