Strictly: Vito likens Ellie Leach to a ‘diamond’
Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola looked smitten with each other as they were spotted taking time out from training ahead of Strictly Come Dancing’s Blackpool Special this weekend.
Dressed in a casual winter fit, the Coronation Street star, 22, was seen wearing a beige trench coat, teamed with black trousers and trainers.
Vito, 31, walked alongside her wearing a long black coat and a scarf which was wrapped securely around his neck.
Walking along the streets in Blackpool, Vito wrapped his arms around Ellie and appeared oblivious to onlookers they gazed into each other’s eyes.
The actress and the Italian-born dancer have sparked huge romance speculation among fans after their undeniable chemistry.

Vito explained: “I think for me Ellie is like a diamond, but not like a normal diamond, she is this rough diamond that you need to put under pressure and shine the front and the sides”.
