Ellie Simmonds has admitted to having a 'tough' week on Strictly Come Dancing as fans rally to support the star after she delivered an inspiring and defiant speech during Saturday's live show.
Paralympic swimming champion Ellie has struck up an amazing partnership with professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, with the pair leaving the judges moved by their beautiful Waltz to Can't Help Falling In Love With You at the weekend. The pair earned plenty of positive feedback for their touching routine, with particular praise for Ellie's clean lines and expression, with her and Nikita also seeing their scores improve from week one.
Just like the judges, Strictly viewers at home have also been mightily impressed with how Ellie, a pundit on the BBC for this year's Commonwealth Games, has handled her time on the show so far and were left full of respect and admiration for her, not only after her performance but after the message she gave at the end of her latest VT.
