But his ghoulish moves got out of hand when he ripped his trousers while dancing live on Saturday night.
During their routine, Vito dressed in a pair of figure-hugging three-quarter pants, white tights and a waistcoat.
He was seen throwing Sarah around in a series of daring lifts and at the end of the dance, before his pants split.
Vito was seen holding his bottom to conceal the rip when he left the dancefloor and during the judges feedback.

He was then seen uncomfortably walking to the staircase with his hand behind his back, to conceal his modesty.
Speaking to Claudia Winkleman in the clauditorium, Vito said: "Everything is together, a bit of overbalance, everything happened right now.
"My wig and you and the dress, and my trousers broke right here."
He then proceeded to show the host the rip, before Claudia quickly moved things on.

Fans were left in hysterics at the awkward blunder, with one writing: "What’s that? Vito split his britches?"
A second said: "Oh NO Vito's torn his trousers," with a third asked: "Has Vito split his trousers?," with a laughing face emoji.
The judges scored the pair an impressive 38 for their dance, with Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse awarding a 10 points.
Head judge Shirley Ballas gave them a standing ovation.
While Craig Revel Horwood was full of praise, saying it was "the most wonderful Argentine Tango we've seen".
Motsi simply said: "I'll keep it short, dance of the night. Congratulations."
Shirley gushed: "It was really quite spectacular, I thought the lifts were fantastic, it was done with ease.
"You worked as a team. You had it all going on, you're magic really sprinkled on you tonight."
