Strictly Come Dancing contestant Balvinder Sopel has announced a significant change for her next routine after facing the dance-off for the third time. The EastEnders actor and her professional partner Julian Caillon were saved by the judges on Sunday, beating Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola. Appearing on Strictly It Takes Two, Sopel revealed she will perform her couple’s choice dance barefoot this coming weekend. The routine will be a fusion of Bhangra and Bollywood, set to Ed Sheeran’s 'Sapphire'. Sopel described the dance as “strong and powerful”, and “vibrant and banging”, while Caillon expressed his enjoyment of learning about her culture.
