Vito Coppola has given a glimpse at the toll preparing for the Strictly Come Dancing semi-final is having on him as he shared his latest update on social media. The Italian dancer is training celebrity dance partner Ellie Leach for not one but two dances this weekend after they made it to the penultimate week of the competition. Former Coronation Street star Ellie and her professional dance partner Vito were seen back in the ballroom on Saturday night which wasn’t just the quarter-finals but also the Musicals week special. The actress and the Italian professional dancer performed a quickstep to the song Belle from Beauty And The Beast. But they weren’t competing for a place in this Saturday’s (December 9) semi-final as actor Nigel Harman’s sudden exit through injury meant there was no public vote and subsequent elimination so the remaining four couples automatically made it through with the judges’ scores carried over into the next live show.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday morning (December 7), Vito appeared to be struggling to wake up as he travelled in the back of a car, presumably to get back to work. He confirmed it was 6.30am and typed alongside the clip of him struggling to open his eyes as he snuggled into his coat: “It’s hard for me to say good morning if there is no sun in the sky.” And we can certainly agree with him there. It comes after Ellie joked he’d done a “good job” during their mid-week training session as he showed off his latest ‘injury’. The dance was nursing his leg, explaining that as he skidded across the floor during their Charleston, the friction managed to burn off some of his leg hair, which he held up for the camera, causing a little sore. “@vitocoopla you’ve worked so hard today. So proud of you,” Ellie, famed for playing Faye Windass in ITV’s Corrie, typed alongside the clip on her Instagram Story. It comes after she mocked her dance partner for getting his grandmother to ‘cure’ his headache. Ellie took to Instagram to show the pair travelling by car. She captioned the post, featuring a video of her dance partner: “Here he is. Number one most dramatic person I’ve ever met.” In the clip, Vito was holding on to his head before it was confirmed he was nursing a headache. He suddenly said: “I have to call my grandmother,” before realising Ellie was filming him. She asked “why” to which he said: “I have to call my grandmother to cure my of my headache.” Ellie then shared another clip of Vito facetiming his beloved relative, alongside which she typed: “So glad you’re cured of your headache.” Then in the final clip, Vito said “I feel much better,” as Ellie started laughing. “I really felt ill before,” he added before Ellie said: “No, guys. He felt ill because we’ve just been for a walk outside and it’s cold outside. Now we’re in the car and it’s nice and warm, so he’s warmed up and feels better now.” But throughout her explanation, Vito disputed her claims and said: “No, I had a headache. It’s an Italian thing and if you have people like my grandmother… she cures you. She does all the praying and stuff that only she know and now I feel better.” Ellie did mock her to which he jokingly snapped: “You think this is a joke. This is actually a real thing… It’s a south Italian thing. So thank you, Nonna.”
