As romance rumours continue to swirl surrounding Strictly Come Dancing stars Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, the Coronation Sweet actress has now revealed how much her dance partner means to her.
The 22-year-old actress and pro dancer, 31, have sent fans into a frenzy at the thought of the infamous Strictly curse striking this series.
Amanda Abbington seemingly confirmed the pair were an official couple just days ago, and they’ve since been spotted getting rather intimate.
And Ellie has now opened up about how much her partner means to her, saying she’d be ‘lost’ on the dancefloor without him.
In a clip on Friday’s It Takes Two, she said: ‘I don’t even want to think about taking to the dancefloor without Vito.
‘I would be completely lost. It would be my worst nightmare.’
Ellie and Vito have been voicing their love for each other in recent days, even sharing a kiss during a live TV interview.
During an appearance on The One Show, they were asked by Lauren Laverne what they thought of the predictions they were giving off ‘final vibes.’
In response, Vito became extremely animated, planted a kiss on Ellie’s heeck and gave her a big hug as he showered her with compliments.
‘Honestly, we don’t really think about the final as a final – we want to live and enjoy every single week, [doing] baby steps, small but solid, and [if] it comes, it comes,’ the Italian dancer told Lauren and co-host Ronan Keating.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
‘But otherwise, we are very happy [with] what we are doing. We are having our proper journey, like a rollercoaster, and it’s amazing.’
