Strictly Come Dancing winner Ellie Leach appeared cheery as she gave fans an update concerning her dance partner Vito Coppola.
Saturday night (December 16) saw the Bury-born Coronation Street star and Italian dancer Vito scoop the coveted Glitterball trophy in an emotional final. The pair beat theatre star Layton Williams - who's also from Bury - and Nikita Kuzmin, and actor Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell by winning the public vote.

Ellie and Vito then placed bottom of the final leader board having received a total of 115 points.
