Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were left mesmerised as professional dancer Vito Coppola showed off his abs on the popular BBC show.
On Saturday night’s show (November 11), Vito and his dance partner Ellie Leach took to the dance floor to perform a sensual rumba to Cyndi Lauper’s True Colours. But although the couple performed an almost perfect routine, fans clearly had their eyes elsewhere.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts on Vito’s chest while begging him to take his shirt off. One viewer wrote: “Vito babes, please button your shirt cause it’s VERY distracting… on the other hand, just take it off.”

Another fan wrote: “Thank you to the #Strictly wardrobe department on behalf of the UK’s straight female and gay male viewers. Vito’s bare chest is just what we needed.”
A third said: “Congrats to whoever stole Vito’s buttons.” While a fourth said: “What? Was Vito dancing with someone? I didn’t notice – was only looking at him ( can’t think why..!) . Not a fan of the Rumba – but even I have to admit that was the best celeb Rumba we’ve seen this series.”
This week, former Coronation Street star Ellie and Vito performed another spectacular routine. The judges were also blown away by Ellie’s performance and awarded her 35 points.
Fans at home also couldn’t get enough of the stunning pair and commented on their dance too. Taking to X, one viewer said: “Wow! I know the Rumba is one of the hardest dances on SCD – and NEVER had a perfect score! Ellie and Vito’s performance was absolutely beautiful. Will it get a perfect score? It’s going to get close. I will give it a 38 / 39.”
While another said: “Ellie and Vito – though I’m not a fan of the rumba generally, I thought she did a great job. She’s a wonderful dancer. Beautiful song too.”

Since hitting the dance floor in September fans have speculated that their could be more of a romantic connection with Ellie and Vito. Ellie, who split from her boyfriend Reagan Pettman in May spoke openly about her split in October.
She said: “Being cheated on was upsetting, but now’s the perfect time to put my all into Strictly and give that 500 per cent. Self-confidence is something I’ve always struggled with, as an actor, people don’t see that – they think you’re this confident person and you can do anything.”
