Coronation Street star Ellie Leach addresses romance rumors with Strictly partner Vito Coppola

ELLIE Leach has fueled rumors of a romance between her and Vito Coppola with some seriously gushing comments about her Strictly partner.

Their on-screen chemistry has everyone talking

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. Ellie has once again fueled rumors of a romance with Vito.

Ellie reflects on her journey and newfound confidence

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 Daily Star, Ellie continued: "I didn’t realize 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."

Passionate performances and cozy moments

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 rumors of a romantic relationship during a later – very cozy – appearance on Strictly: It Takes Two. Vito also passionately described Ellie as a "diamond". "I see Ellie like a rough diamond and you see this diamond shining and shining and shining and then it’s ready to be put on the perfect ring."
