Strictly Come Dancing fans 'have proof' Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola are dating

Strictly Come Dancing fans believe there's no way Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola aren't an item after their dramatic dance.

The former Coronation Street actress set the dancefloor alight with her impressive Argentine Tango on Saturday night. Ellie and Vito stunned the judges with their intense performance, earning them 38 points. The 31-year-old Italian dance professional and 22-year-old actress have been tearing up the dance floor week after week- and have even become the favourites to win the show.

Yet many viewers appear distracted by what they predict is happening off the dancefloor. They have sparked furious speculation that they could be growing close thanks to their sizzling and erotic performances. Last week Vito affectionately kissed Ellie on the cheeks after their performance and on Friday the pair shared a series of cosy and loved-up looking snaps with their fans.

It was Saturday night's performance that sealed the deal for many fans of the pair as viewers took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to share their thoughts. One predicted: "Vito & Ellie will definitely be #strictly official by the end of the series for sure." Another added: "Difficult to believe that Ellie and Vito aren’t a couple after that #strictly." Someone else gushed: "Pls can someone look at me the way Vito looks at Ellie because..."

A fourth wrote: "There’s definitely something going on with Ellie & Vito #Strictly." Another commented: "If Ellie and Vito dont become a couple I will kidknap them and force them to fall in love." Someone else asked: "Are we really all pretending that Ellie and Vito aren’t actually dating?" A fan demanded: "Oh my GOD if there were any ideas that Vito and Ellie aren’t together, they have to be out of the window after that dance, that was HOT." Another said: "BTW, Vito and Ellie are a couple off of the stage too, right?? They delivery a couple vibe."

Speculation of a romance comes after they often end their dances with romantic gestures and kisses. On Friday, the two stars took to Instagram and shared a joint post with their respective followers. Vito wrote in the announcement: "'Live the present and be grateful for what you have in life. Be happy for waking up every morning and appreciate the small things. This makes the real Happiness.' These are the words that Lulú and I keep repeating to each other #positivevibes #happiness."

Ellie, who also shared the post to her main Instagram grid, added to her dance partner's emotional declaration, commenting: "always live in the present and appreciate the little things. [love heart emoji]. so lucky and grateful for this experience with you xxx." Fans and famous friends of the rumoured couple were quick to comment on the sweet post, with former Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton declaring: "This pair [raised hands emoji]." Ellie's former Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent added: "MY GOD THESE PICTURES [love heart eyes emoji]."

"Tell me your [sic] a couple without telling me your [sic] a couple," one fan of the Strictly duo quipped in the comment section, taking Ellie and Vito's post as confirmation they've found love. Another Instagram user gushed: "I love you guys! You two are a match made in heaven - the laughs and chemistry just show every week looks effortless and not forced and that really matters. routing [sic] for you both."

Ellie and Vito - who were recently snapped on a cosy date together - have sparked rumours of a blossoming romance since first taking to the dancefloor together in September. Former contestant Amanda Abbington further fuelled the speculation when she referred Ellie and Vito as a "beautiful couple" on Instagram. Both Ellie and Vito are officially single, with the former soap star splitting from her boyfriend of five years just weeks before singing up for a stint on Strictly.
