“He has been so patient with her and all of Ellie’s family love him to bits, too. He’s become an honorary member. Vito feels the same about Ellie. He can’t stop talking about her or smiling whenever he’s with her,” added the source.

The source continued: “They won’t be spending every minute of every day together anymore, so they need to adjust to that. The Strictly bubble is great while you’re in it, but once it goes, real life and relationships can seem a lot harder.”
