Their Argentine Tango to Destiny's Child's Bills, Bills, Bills was one of their most memorable performances. An emotional Ellie took to Instagram to share that she had discovered a piece of her outfit from that performance while clearing out her room.

The 23 year old star expressed: "I am crying. I'm clearing out my room and I just found out this piece of hair in my memory box from Argentine Tango Week."

Vito is currently paired with Sarah Hadland in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, where they received high praise for their Argentine Tango during Halloween Week, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The Strictly duo have announced on Instagram that they will be performing an American Smooth to Heather Small's Proud this Saturday. In a joint Instagram post, they expressed: "We are sooooo excited to dance this song this week. We do really hope to make everyone Proud. It's celebration, positivity, optimism, good energy and beautiful spirit. It's Freedom and it's Love! What have we done today to make all proud? We Daaaaaanced... Always with love. Trilly and Vito."

The iconic Heather Small song was famously featured in the BBC sitcom Miranda, which starred Sarah. Fans were overjoyed by the reference to the beloved show as they eagerly anticipated this week's episode.

One viewer exclaimed: "I've waited for this moment since Sarah was announced for Strictly. I cannot wait," as another commented: "Oh, I miss the Miranda show now. Go Sarah!"

Ellie has revealed that despite no longer being part of Strictly, she is still supporting her former partner, as she told the Echo: "I'm really excited for Vito. He's always supported me through everything that I've done since winning Strictly and I will always support him as well. So I'm very excited for him."
