Vito Coppola has left his Strictly Come Dancing co-star in tears as he took time out of his busy touring schedule to share what he described as 'part of his heart' with his fans and followers. The dancer is still riding high after winning the BBC One dance contest in December.
The Italian dancer emerged victorious alongside his celebrity dance partner Ellie Leach after facing both Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin and Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell in the last live show of the competition on December 16.
