Ellie Leach gushes over 'devilishly handsome' Strictly Come Dancing co-star in latest show of support

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Ellie Leach was full of compliments for her Strictly Come Dancing co-star and it may be no surprise to know she was gushing over dance partner and friend for life Vito Coppola.

Despite having emotionally gone their separate ways earlier this year having toured the country with some of their 2023 series co-stars after being crowned last year's dancing champions and lifting the Glitterball trophy, Ellie and Vito continue to show they have remained great friends.

It came after Ellie, 23, hit back after innocently sharing "a little round-up" of her life recently in pictures and was quickly defended from some comments she'd been receiving as she was quizzed about Vito's whereabouts.
