Former Strictly star ‘confirms’ Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola romance with telltale comment after weeks of speculation
ONE former star from Strictly Come Dancing may have confirmed a romance between Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
The pair have taken the BBC ballroom competition by storm with their natural chemistry and flowing moves.
Speculation has been mounting that Ellie, 22, and Vito, 31, maybe an item due to their natural connection on the floor.
However after the former Coronation Street star took to Instagram with a photo of her “magical night”, her former co-star might just have let the cat out the bag.
Posting an action shot of her latest dance, Ellie captioned the photo: “Thank you, thank you, thank you .
“What a magical night, we are so grateful for all of your support and we’re soooo happy to be through to another week on that strictly dancefloor .”
And her fellow Strictly Come Dancing co-stars flocked to the comments section to lavish praise on the pairing.
Zara McDermott wrote: “So proud of you this week I watched you with the biggest smile on my face ever fave look of the series too!!! Just beautiful xxxx.”
However, most notably was former competitor Amanda Abbington who said that the duo made the most “beautiful couple.”
The 51-year-old Sherlock actor commented: “Stunning. So proud of the both of you.”
She added: “You are the most beautiful couple! .”
Speculation about the state of their relationship has been rife for weeks, and some fans are convinced they are more than just dance partners.
Rumours were further fuelled in week five after their red hot Pasodoble to Faithless’s club classic Insomnia.
Upon finishing the passionate routine, Vito placed a hand on his partner’s cheek and pulled her in for a kiss, not once but twice.
