The former Coronation Street star has been paired with Vito Coppola for the show's 21st series
Ellie Leach has revealed a sweet gesture from her mum as she prepares for the first Strictly Come Dancing live show next weekend.
Ellie, from Bury, has been partnered up with dancer Vito Coppola - whose Strictly debut last year, with singer and radio host Fleur East, saw the pair finish as runners-up in the final. In an Instagram post, Ellie shared an insight into her dancing journey so far, while she and Vito prepare to perform the jive on their first live show - complete with a cute gesture from her mum, Karen.
Instagram One read: "My boy Vito" and another read, "My girl Ellie. Keep dancing!!!" Both lunches were made complete with a Jive chocolate bar - a creative nod to the pair's first dance together.
