Former Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach, 22, has sparked even more speculation about a possible romance with her Strictly Come Dancing pro partner Vito Coppola. Viewers have witnessed their growing closeness on the show, and it seems that Vito has also won over Ellie's parents.
A Sexy Tango Performance
During Saturday's episode, Ellie and Vito wowed the audience with their sizzling Argentine Tango routine to Destiny's Child hit "Bills, Bills, Bills." As the passionate dance unfolded, fans couldn't help but notice what seemed like a near-kiss between the pair. Although the camera angles made it difficult to be certain, social media was soon buzzing with speculation.
A Hit with Ellie's Parents
While fans eagerly hope for a romance to blossom between Ellie and Vito, it appears that her parents are also smitten with the Italian dancer. During Sunday's results show, Ellie revealed to host Claudia Winkleman that her dad is a big fan of Vito.
She said, "My dad is usually a man of few words and he rarely shows any emotion, but every week he messages me and is like 'so proud of you, crying again' like welling up. And he's just been so amazing and such support, it's been nice to know that I'm making him proud."
Vito echoed Ellie's sentiment, saying, "I love Ellie's family because you know, we exchange cooking recipes and I say like 'ok, show me how you do the gravy and the mash potato and I'll tell you how to do pasta."
As the competition heats up, viewers will be eagerly watching to see if romance blossoms between Ellie and Vito both on and off the dance floor.
