EXCLUSIVE: Vito Coppola, who won Strictly Come Dancing with Ellie Leach in 2023, has opened up about his relationship status...
He's got the moves, the muscles, and he's such a talented cook he's in tonight's Masterchef semi-finals, but for Strictly Come Dancing champ Vito Coppola , romance is currently off the menu. The hunky Italian dancer, who clinched the Glitterball Trophy with soap star Ellie Leach last year, has quashed rumours of a relationship with the Coronation Street actress, insisting he's single as he waits to find out the identity of his next celebrity dance partner.
Being single allows Vito to pour his energy into his career, and he has spiced things up in the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen where the star's proved he's got his nonna's knack for pasta. Vito Coppola confessed: "They all said, 'Vito, you know all the extra excitement you put when you are dancing, that super passion? Just be the same.' I mean, I don't know any other way to be, honestly. I'm just like this. I wouldn't change if I could."
"Everyone knows that. I try to sometimes make it a bit less but of course it's challenging, when you feel under pressure. I have this adrenaline that brings me even more excitement." Our heart-to-heart happens during a down moment from rehearsals for Strictly's latest series. The show has been wrapped in drama following Amanda Abbington's allegations against Giovanni Pernice describing him as "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean" - claims he outright denies.
Coming up in the competitive Italian dance scene alongside Graziano, Vito considers him almost a brother. Even with the scandal causing waves, Vito stands firmly by his pal.
