Former Strictly Come Dancing partners Vito Coppola and Ellie Leach delighted fans with a reunion in Manchester. The pair, who won the Glitterball trophy together in 2023, shared a lighthearted moment on social media as Vito documented their car ride to a dance class.
Strictly Come Dancing 's Vito Coppola expressed his affection for fellow dancer Ellie Leach as he shared an update with fans on social media. Their reunion took place as Vito arrived in Manchester . Ellie, a former Coronation Street actress, participated in the 2023 season of the ballroom dancing competition, where she was partnered with Vito. The duo achieved victory, winning the coveted Glitterball trophy over Layton Williams and Bobby Brazier.
Recently, Ellie marked the one-year anniversary of her involvement in a series of live shows during Strictly Come Dancing's tour. She also celebrated the first anniversary of her and Vito getting matching tattoos, captioning the post: 'One whole year with our gorgeous baby bees'. Vito took to his Instagram story on Saturday, February 1st, posting a video of their reunion. He announced: 'Now in the car going to the class here in Manchester and I have a driver, a special driver, who is driving me to the class' before panning the camera to Ellie in the driver's seat. Ellie responded with mock surprise: 'A special driver?! Is that all you think of me as?! Your taxi driver' as Vito continued to joke about wanting to sit in the back 'like a proper passenger'. As the pair shared laughter, Vito lovingly declared: 'Ahh, I'm with my baby today! We're going to be together and she might join us tomorrow'. The friends then lightheartedly complained about having to cook later on, with Ellie revealing she's 'excited' for Vito to cook but not for herself. This year, Vito competed with actress Sarah Harding. Though they came close to winning, they were ultimately defeated by comedian Chris McCausland and his professional partner Dianne Buswell. Unfortunately, Vito is unable to participate in the live tour this year due to an injury. He shared on Instagram: 'I won’t be able to be with you on the Strictly Arena Tour, we had the chance to dance one more time together and it has been as always super beautiful and memorable'. He added: 'Let’s always see the glass half full and to stay, keep and spread positivity. We have closed the circle of our journey Trilly and I am glad that we have lifted the trophy together. 'Team Tiramisu for one last time I will keep following you and cheering for you, as always and I will come to watch the show every single time I can, so don’t worry, you won’t get rid of me...'
