Bubbly Strictly Come Dancing 2023 winner, Ellie Leach and her handsome Italian pro partner, Italian Vito Coppolla, have had tongues wagging over their sizzling chemistry on the BBC series. And, though they’ve never confirmed that they are anything more than just good friends, they certainly seemed closer than ever after declaring on the famous This Morning sofa that they intend to get inked with matching tattoos.
Speaking to co-hosts of the ITV morning show, Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson, on Wednesday, 10 January, Ellie revealed: “We were like, if we can make it to the final, why don’t we get a tattoo?” to which a visibly excited Josie replied: “Oooh!” “But it was just a joke”, added Ellie, who at 22 years old is the youngest celebrity to ever win Strictly. “We didn’t expect to get there.” “Then all of a sudden we were like oh, we’re in the final!”, chipped in Vito.
“And we had to keep that promise. So we had to get one of an aubergine.” “We are the aubergine team”, explained Ellie.
“At the end we decided to do a bee with the body of an aubergine, because the bee is a Brazilian insect, and it is also the symbol of Manchester”, added Vito, indicating former Corrie star Ellie, who hails from the city. “It’s a symbol of our bond and friendship we developed over the series”, Ellie added.
Craig, still puzzled about one aspect of the planned tats, asked the former dance partners what the ‘aubergine’ stood for. “it’s a really long story…” began Ellie, before Vito, 31, chimed in enthusiastically: “It’s about parmigiana, Italian food..” Getting matching body ink is a big step for anyone, especially for two friends who have firmly denied any romance between them for months, despite regularly gushing over each other on social media.
