‘Vito’s given me confidence’ says Strictly’s Ellie Leach as she fuels romance rumours with gushing comments
ELLIE Leach has fuelled rumours of a romance between her and Vito Coppola with some seriously gushing comments about her Strictly partner.
The pair danced in last night's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final but their relationship off-screen has had people talking as much as their moves.
Now Coronation Street star Ellie, 22, has opened up about her journey so far, saying: "I was scared before, but Vito believing in me and in my ability has given me confidence.
"Now I will throw myself into it, because if Vito trusts me then I’ll just do it. We have danced together pretty much every day for three months so I am really going to miss him."
Speaking to the , Ellie continued: "I didn’t realise how much of a personal journey I would go on throughout Strictly.
"I feel like I’ve actually matured a lot and have got a different outlook on life now, which is really incredible."

Ellie and Vito previously sent viewers crazy with their very passionate Argentine Tango to Destiny's Child track Bills, Bills, Bills.
As the intimate dance unfolded, fans were convinced the stars 'almost kissed' on the ballroom floor.
And they did nothing to diffuse the rumours of a romantic relationship during a later - very cosy - appearance on Strictly: It Takes Two.
Vito also passionately described Ellie as a "diamond".
