EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal continues to generate significant buzz among fans of Strictly Come Dancing. She and her dance partner, Julian Caillon, faced their third dance-off during the popular BBC One series. Fans have taken to social media, calling for justice and demanding better treatment for the couple.
Balvinder’s Dance-Off Struggles
In the Halloween-themed episode aired on November 1, 2023, Balvinder and Julian performed a rumba to “Stay” by Shakespears Sister. They earned a commendable score of 28 out of 40 from the judges. Despite this strong performance, they found themselves in the bottom two after the public vote.
The Results Show
On November 2, during the results show, Balvinder and Julian competed against model and actress Ellie Goldstein and her partner Vito Coppola. Both couples had to reprise their routines. Ellie and Vito performed a Tango to “Abracadabra” by Lady Gaga, while Balvinder and Julian repeated their rumba.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke chose to save Balvinder and Julian, with head judge Shirley Ballas expressing that she would have also voted to save them. This was yet another close call for the talented duo.
