Strictly Come Dancing pro Vito Coppola has sent a sweet message to his former dance partner Ellie Leach after she shared a stunning picture with her Instagram followers.
The pro dancer and Coronation Street actress, who played Faye Windass on the ITV soap between 2011 and 2023, were partnered up for the 2023 series of the BBC dance show.
Ellie became the youngest-ever winner after lifting the coveted Glitterball trophy. After spending months rehearsing and performing live together, Ellie, 23, and Vito, 33, have since formed a strong friendship.
Following their Strictly appearance, the pair toured the country in the Strictly Live shows before going their separate ways.
