Strictly’s Vito Coppola kisses Ellie Leach live on TV after Amanda Abbington ‘confirms’ romance rumours

Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola kissed his celebrity partner Ellie Leach on live TV amid rumours of a romance.

The pair appeared on Tuesday’s (7 November) episode of The One Show after topping the competition’s leaderboard for a second week on Saturday, scoring 39 points in the joint-highest mark so far this year.

As Lauren Laverne asked Coppola for his reaction to the judges declaring he and Leach had “final vibes”, he planted a kiss on the 22-year-old’s cheek.

It comes after former contestant Amanda Abbington appeared to “confirm” the two were in a relationship with an Instagram comment calling them “the most beautiful couple”.
