BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Vito Coppola makes 'rusty' admission in joint 'back' update with Sarah Hadland

Vito Coppola has admitted to feeling a little 'rusty' as he reunited with Sarah Hadland for the next part of their Strictly Come Dancing journey.

As fans of the BBC One dance contest know, the pair made it through to the final of the 2024 series at the end of last year, having been paired together back in September.

They were seen performing for the last time in the Strictly ballroom alongside JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec in a bid to be crowned the show's latest winners.

After performing three dances each during the spectacular two-and-a-half-hour show, it was Chris and Dianne who emerged victorious and were seen lifting the coveted Glitterball trophy in emotional scenes.

Like their co-stars, Sarah and Vito were recently seen going their separate ways for the festive season but they are now back together as they prepare to perform up and down the country in the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour 2025 alongside other familiar faces from the class of 2024.

As they came back together for the first time since the Strictly final in mid-December, Vito took to Instagram with a video of the excitable pair. They were seen on a photoshoot for the upcoming shows and couldn't hide their delight at their journey together restarting.

It was alongside the post on Instagram that Vito shared: "Team Tiramisu is back! We are so happy to be back together and so excited to be on tour and to see you all. Let’s start to refresh the choreos Trilly, especially after all the food and Panettone I have been eating in Italy I feel a bit rusty. Let’s goooooooo #alwayswithlove."
