Strictly Come Dancing viewers are thrilled as two stars, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola reunited. After splitting from Bobby Brazier, Ellie has found comfort with her former dance partner on BBC Strictly, Vito.

The Coronation Street star, who became the youngest champion of the BBC hit show in December, posted a photo on social media with the caption: "Fun times ". Italy-native professional dancer, Vito, responded in the comment section writing: "Love you baby."

Fans expressed their joy at the post, with one writing: "Oh so lovely together, where you belong."

One individual shared: "I can't begin to tell you how happy seeing this picture made me feel, my old heart is a romantic, and wants a true love story." A final supportive fan said: "Lovely to finally see you 2 together", reports Birmingham Live.

Reports of Ellie and Bobby's breakup appeared in The Sun newspaper recently. They claimed that their busy careers led to their brief romance ending.

An insider disclosed: "Love blossomed between them when they were in close quarters on the tour, but once that ended they both spent much less time together," adding, "That gave them space to think about the future, which is likely to take them in very different directions over the coming year or two. So they decided the best thing to do was quit while they were ahead and while they were still pals, because they both really cherish the friendship they have."

Bobby, earlier this year, said: "Ellie is a sweetheart, look at her...she's beautiful, she's amazing, she's good at what she does. She's a good dancer. She is a lovely lovely friend of mine."

The EastEnders actor has hinted at a new romance with his fellow soap star. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted him leaving love heart eye emojis underneath Jazzy Phoenix’s posts.
