It's no secret that the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom is a hotspot for romance, with dozens of contestants finding love over the years on the BBC One show. Celebrities grow extremely close to their professional dance partners every series, with them spending everyday training together and continuing to bond off the dance floor. This year's series has seen some special friendships form, especially between finalists Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, who have been at the centre of romance rumours since Strictly kicked off in September due to their undeniable chemistry.
Ex-Coronation Street star Ellie, 22, and professional dancer Vito, 31, have formed a very close bond on Strictly and their closeness has not gone unnoticed by fans. Vito, who joined Strictly in 2022, is very affectionate towards Ellie during the Strictly live shows, which has added fuel to the romance rumours, and they continue to gush over one another in interviews. The pair even took part in their first joint photoshoot with OK! in November, and couldn't help but smile as they joked around together.
Actress Ellie, who played Faye Windass in Coronation Street for over a decade, was filled with praise for Vito, and continued to sing his praises throughout the interview. “Every day we have so much fun and I go home and I’m like, ‘Oh my cheeks!’," Ellie told us, laughing. “We’re just having such a good time.
It’s a rollercoaster, but everything is just amazing. Everything is 100% heightened.” The actress attempted to play down Vito's affections on the BBC One show, as fans were left stunned after the pair appeared to 'kiss' at the end of a dance routine in front of the live audience. Blushing, Ellie said: “It was only a kiss on the cheek.
