BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers distracted as Vito ‘steals the show’

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left flustered as they admired professional dancer Vito Coppola’s outfit during Saturday night’s show. Eight couples are taking to the dancefloor this week as they compete to make it through to the next round and dance in the iconic Blackpool ballroom next Saturday.

Still in the chance of winning the glitterball trophy are Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe, Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington, Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu, Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, Krishnan Guru-Murphy and Lauren Oakley, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin and Nigel Harman and Katya Jones. Last week Adam Thomas and dance partner Luba Mushtuk were the sixth couple eliminated from the competition after the ‘closest dance off’ yet.

As the couples descended the stairs to the dance floor at the start of Saturday’s show, viewers were drawn in by one professional’s outfit. Ex-Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and her partner Vito Coppola arrived wearing complimenting blush pink outfits.
