Strictly’s Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola share heartwarming reunion photos
Strictly Come Dancing winners Vito Coppola and Ellie Leach have enjoyed a lovely reunion in Manchester.
Vito documented his weekend with the former Coronation Street star, who he affectionally calls Lulú after her second name, Louise. The professional dancer took to Instagram to post a series of pictures of the two of them out and about as well as spending quality time with Ellie's family.
"About last Sunday in Manchester," Vito captioned the Instagram carousel, adding: "Lovely day."

The smiley snaps see Ellie and Vito sharing a meal and a glass of wine, getting brunch with Ellie's younger sister Daisy and posing for a picture with the soap star's family.
On Instagram, Vito wished his fans "a happy Sunday" adding the hashtag #family to its post, with one follower noting: "So lovely that you have your English 'family'."
Ellie and Vito's close friendship has been at the centre of intense speculation since they took part in the show, with many Strictly fans believing the two may be a couple.

Speaking about the nature of their relationship earlier this year, Ellie responded to a fan who asked why Vito hadn't been included in one of her posts.
"Love this man dearly," Ellie said in her Instagram Stories, sharing a picture of Vito.
She continued, seemingly addressing the rumours: "Men and women can be friends and can love each other AS FRIENDS... just saying x @vitocoppola you have the cutest face."
Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
