Strictly's Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola reunite for "last rehearsal"
Strictly Come Dancing winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola marked their "last rehearsal" with a fun lip sync video.
Ahead of their dance studio practice, the two friends took to Instagram to share a clip where they lip sync to 1995 song 'Mysterious Girl' by Peter Andre. Former Coronation Street actor Ellie can be seen struggling to keep a straight face as Vito looks at her.
"We have started our first rehearsal one year ago with a funny reel and we are going to start our last rehearsal in the same way…" Vito shared on Instagram.

"I'm not going to lie… we have filmed it about 7 times or more because we kept laughing on each other," the pro dancer continued before adding: "Love you babyyy".
Ellie renewed her affection for her friend, writing: "love youuuuu".
Some of Vito's fellow Strictly pro dancers commented on the reel, included Nancy Xu, Amy Dowden and Diane Buswell who all shared some laughing emojis.

Vito and Ellie have sparked romance rumours since appearing onStrictly together, but have reiterated there isn't a romantic element to their close friendship.
Recently, Vito confirmed he's single in an interview with OK! magazine, explaining he's focusing on his career and treats himself to solo candlelit dinners occasionally.
"I'm very lucky with my career. So at the moment, it's just me, myself and I," he said.
"I like to prepare nicely, even though it's just myself, with a bit of decoration and food, and I light a candle and I say to myself, 'OK, I'm grateful for this, I'm grateful for this life, I'm grateful for this food'," he continued.
"I think of my family, because food always brings me to my family. I just feel very, very happy and grateful, actually. So sometimes I have a date with myself."
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.
