Ellie was the first celebrity with Down’s syndrome to compete on the main series of Strictly Come Dancing.
After being eliminated, partner Vito said: "Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you, and you did really change my life so much.
"You made me such a better person. At the beginning of this year, I said to myself ‘Please, please, please can you send me a beautiful angel into my life?’ And now you (have) arrived.
"I’ve never had a little sister but I always wanted one. Now, I have you and you’re my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side."
On dancing with Vito, Ellie added: "I’ve enjoyed it so much! He is a kind person and all I wanted from day one.
"You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you."
Ellie and Vito and Balvinder and Julian were second and third to last on the leaderboard following Halloween Week, scoring 27 and 28, respectively.
It was Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and partner Karen Hauer who were bottom this week, scoring 26.
Former Emmerdale star Lewis Cope and professional dancer Katya Jones clinched the first perfect 40 score of the series after their couple’s choice routine to Creep by Radiohead.
After both dance off couples performed their Halloween week routines again, the judges decided to save Balvinder and Julian.
