Ellie danced a jive to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison with her Strictly pro partner Johannes Radebe. But after struggling to impress on Saturday night, the Ted Lasso star once again left the judges feeling underwhelmed in the dance-off.
Ellie Taylor was left in tears after she was sent home by the judges and it seems she wasn't the only one unhappy with the decision as many viewers took to social media to admit they thought the wrong person was sent home.
And now co-star and Countryfile presenter, Helen, has taken to social media to pay tribute to Ellie who she dubbed "the best friend a girl could wish for" before telling the star she was "stuck with her now."
In a short clip posted to her Instagram stories, Helen said: "I jumped on to just say a want to give the most love, respect and admiration for Ellie Taylor because she has been the best friend that a girl could wish for on this crazy journey.
"Thank you Ellie and Johannes for your entertainment, for your love, your support, your side eye, for your getting me, for your sneaking in to the marque to practise with me when we've felt like we didn't know what we were doing, because we didn't know what we were doing.
"Anyway, don't turn your phone off and don't block me because you're stuck with me. I'll miss you, I'm grateful for you and yeah, just what a ride, I'll be watching back your dances for a while."
Helen captioned the clip: "An army of women salute you and rightly so" alongside a series of heart face emojis as she tagged her co-star.
