Strictly's Ellie sobs as she admits Vito has changed her life amid 'romance'
Ellie Leach emotionally told her rumoured boyfriend Vito Coppola just how much he means to her during this evening's Strictly Come Dancing finale.
The former Coronation Street actress, 22, fought back the tears after performing her second dance with Vito on the BBC series, telling her dance - and possibly romantic - partner how much he has changed her life since they began their Strictly journey together earlier this year.
Speaking after receiving feedback from the judges, an emotional Ellie told Vito how he has changed her life for the better and confessed she didn't have "the words" to describe just how much he means to her - sobbing as she made the moving declaration.
It was an emotional evening for the rumoured couple (BBC)It comes as Corrie actress Ellie and her partner and rumoured beau Vito were named as the likely winners of the show earlier on Saturday, by convinced viewers. Of course it was all to play for on Saturday night and anything could happen.
But that hasn't stopped viewers predicting the winners already. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one viewer said: "Rooting for Bobby to win tonight but think Ellie will win. Another agreed: "I think it will be an easy win for Ellie Leach." A third viewer said: "I hope #Ellie wins," while another agreed: "Ellie is amazing and probably will." A fifth comment read: "Keep seeing tweets from people saying they want Bobby and Dianne to win but think Ellie will win."

It comes after Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe sadly missed out on a place in the final last weekend, leaving the show in the semi-finals. Annabel sobbed as she thanked her pro dance partner for his love and support during their time on the show.
Speaking on It Takes Two in the week, she revealed: "It's hard not to feel dazed by it all, it's just been the most magical 12 weeks. I enjoyed so much from it, from start to finish. If someone had said to me you might get to week 12, I'd have never believed it. I'm a little bit sad that I couldn't get us to the final and of course, we'd have loved to get through but we had some stiff competition."
Ellie and Vito sent fans wild last month when they seemingly confirmed their romance with a joint announcement on social media. The two stars took to Instagram, amid strong rumours they're a couple off the dancefloor as well as on it, and shared a joint post with their respective followers. Captioning a series of cosy and loved-up looking snaps with their fans, Vito wrote in the announcement: "'Live the present and be grateful for what you have in life. Be happy for waking up every morning and appreciate the small things. This makes the real Happiness.' These are the words that Lulú and I keep repeating to each other #positivevibes #happiness."
Former soap star Ellie, who also shared the post to her main Instagram grid, added to her dance partner's emotional declaration, commenting: "always live in the present and appreciate the little things. [love heart emoji]. so lucky and grateful for this experience with you xxx."
Strictly Come Dancing 2023's live final will air from 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
