Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola has generated further speculation over his relationship with dance partner Ellie Leach with a sweet message on social media this evening.
The Italian dancer, 31, and the Coronation Street actress, 22, have been taking the dancefloor by storm on the BBC show this year, with many fans noticing their sizzling chemistry.
Taking to Instagram tonight in view of his 199,000 followers, Vito posted a black and white picture of himself looking sleepy to his story.
He captioned the snap: “Just finished another day of rehearsal!!!
“Well done to my baby @ellielouiseleach,” he added, tagging dancer partner Ellie.
Viewers have been left wondering whether Ellie and Vito are now an item, as we have seen the Italian performer plant a kiss on the actress’ cheek on multiple occasions.
Just yesterday, fans noticed their close connection when they appeared on The One Show together, where Vito described the celeb as “beautiful” and kissed her cheek.
The pair held hands as they joined hosts Ronan Keating and Lauren Laverne on the sofa.
Vito gushed: “Of course, we try every single time to give our best, we have to put so much commitment and put as much as we can in the moment. But mistakes happen, we’re human.
“We started from nothing, zero. Ellie never danced before. It was not like a white page, it was like a transparent page.
He continued: “We went from zero and we are building every week. I am so so happy, she is doing great and making me proud, herself and her family, everyone.”
He later added: “We are having our journey, like a rollercoaster. It’s amazing, I cannot put it into words how beautiful this journey is together.”
Turning to Ellie to beam at her affectionately, he put one arm around her back as he continued: “To have met this beautiful [girl],”
He then planted a kiss on Ellie’s cheek as she smiled, causing Lauren to exclaim: “You two!”
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One from 6.05pm.
