Strictly Come Dancing stars Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola shared an emotional video on social media – but it wasn’t what fans hoped for.
The former Coronation Street actress, 22, made history last week when she was crowned winner of the BBC show alongside Vito, 34, becoming the youngest ever contestant to do so. From the moment they were partnered together, the couple have fuelled romance rumours.
And fans are certain they’re is something more than friendship between the pair. On Friday (December 22) they shared a joint Instagram video taken moments after finishing their final rehearsal.

“You cannot imagine how proud you made me and all the people who love you, and I hope you are proud of yourself.” Ellie struggled to hold back the tears as Vito confirmed this would be the day they’re journey would come to a close, before thanking each other and fans for their support.
The Italian declared that Ellie would “shine bright” in their final performance the following Saturday, telling fans they would dance until the end. They signed off the post with Strictly’s iconic tagline: “Keep dancing.”
Alongside the video, Vito penned: “A week ago, today, we got emotional after our last rehearsal…and we are more than happy to share this special moment with you all, beautiful people.”
The professional dancer added: “There are no words to describe all the feelings and the emotions…it’s just this. Thank you.” The post attracted plenty of attention from fans, many of whom thought the video would be the couple confirming their relationship.
