Strictly's Ellie Taylor admits funny reason daughter wasn't impressed with performance

As week three of Strictly Come Dancing got underway on Saturday night, fans of the show were treated to a collection of ballroom numbers inspired by the iconic films in the much loved staple of the series: movie week. Dancing to everything from Top Gun to the Lion King, there was even room for a little intergalactic fun inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Johannes Radebe and Ellie Taylor are facing an early exit from Strictly Come Dancing and all because of a lack of chemistry, according to a body language expert.

Viewers settling down on the sofa to watch Wednesday night's Strictly - It Takes Two were left feeling confused by the furniture in the studio.
