“I’M DONE PLAYING IT SAFE!” — Vito Coppola SHOCKS Fans After Leaving Strictly Come Dancing. Vito’s eyes blazed as he declared, “I’m done dancing in someone else’s spotlight — now it’s my turn to set the stage on fire!” Just weeks after leaving the BBC series, the rising star teased projects so daring they could shake the dance world to its core. Fans gasped, the dance community buzzed, and speculation ran wild: is this the start of a revolutionary chapter, or a shocking career pivot nobody expected? Every word, every glance from Vito screamed fearless ambition, leaving fans breathless and desperate to see what comes next.
Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola has shared his plans to continue dancing with Ellie Goldstein.
The pro dancer and model Ellie were voted out after Halloween week, after a dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
After performing their Tango to Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra again, the pair shared an emotional moment where Vito told Ellie how much she meant to him.
He said: “Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you, and you did really change my life so much. You made me such a better person.
“At the beginning of this year, I said to myself, ‘Please, please, please, can you send me a beautiful angel into my life?’ And now you arrived. I’ve never had a little sister, but I always wanted one. Now, I have you, and you’re my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side.”
Ellie replied: “I’ve enjoyed it so much! He is a kind person, and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito].”
The pair have now confirmed they still plan to keep on dancing during an appearance on It Takes Two with host Fleur East.
Vito shared: “We are dancing this week, we have already started our jive, we are going to do a few other dances that Ellie said at the beginning, ‘I want to do’.”
Ellie added: “The couple’s choice, the cha-cha-cha.”
Vito continued: “We’re going to keep practicing and doing some of the new dances.”
“We are doing this training up until the final,” Ellie insisted.
“You’re going to have your own Strictly going on alongside the show,” Fleur quipped.
Following their exit from Strictly, Ellie, who has made history on Strictly as the first celebrity with Down’s syndrome to compete on the annual competition, shared an emotional message to social media, writing: “THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART Wow… what a journey!
“I can’t even begin to put into words how grateful I am for all the love, support and beautiful messages I’ve received since leaving Strictly Come Dancing. Every single comment, message, vote, cheer and encouragement has meant the world to me.
“Being part of Strictly has been a dream come true the sparkle, the music, the laughter, and most of all, the people. I’ve grown so much, learned things I never thought I could do, and made memories I’ll treasure forever.
