The latest Strictly news has seen Ellie Leach declare her love for professional dance partner Vito Coppola following a wholesome Instagram upload from the pro dancer.
The pair are taking Strictly by storm and even received 10s from judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas last Saturday (October 28) for their salsa.
Strictly news: Vito so ‘grateful’ for the public’s support
In a heartfelt Instagram video shared this week, Vito expressed how “grateful” he was for all the support he and Ellie have received.
The dancer explained he moved from his native Italy to the UK last year and that the love from everyone has made him feel “less alone”.
“Just THANK YOU,” Vito wrote in a lengthy caption. “Sorry for repeating the same thing more times but this is the only way I have to show you all my gratitude and how thankful I am. One year ago when I moved here to the UK I couldn’t imagine that I would feel so loved.”
Referring to Ellie by her nickname “Lulu”, Vito stated he was “so proud” of the former Corrie actor. “You know how much I believe in you so just keep going and keep working hard as you are already doing every day. You are doing great baby,” he continued.
Vito added: “Have a good rest tonight and make sure you eat properly. See you tomorrow for another beautiful day together.”
