Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola have thanked fans for their support as they continue preparing for the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing final.<\/p>\n
The duo, who have been wowing audiences with their sizzling performances, are the current favourites to take home this year's Glitterball trophy.<\/p>\n
Vito, 31, shared his heartfelt thanks to his 261,000 Instagram followers, saying: "We don't have words to describe our happiness and the words "thank you" are not enough to describe our gratitude to all of you beautiful people.<\/p>\n
"We promise to you all that we will give as always our best, and we will give triple the energy, effort, commitment and everything we can do to express our gratitude. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"We are super grateful from our hearts. While writing this post the tears are in the eyes."<\/p>\n
Vito also paid a sweet tribute to his dance partner, former Coronation Street star Ellie, 22, saying: "You are my warrior! <\/p>\n
"You are really blossoming and now you can show to the entire world how amazing you are, but mostly you will prove to yourself that you are an amazing butterfly.<\/p>\n
"So for this week just spread your wings and let's fly I promise to give you my best of the best for this next week, because I want it to be forever memorable in our memories." <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ellie was full of praise for her partner as she responded: "Couldn't do this without you partner, let's enjoy our final week dancing together." <\/p>\n
It comes as the pair continue to spark romance rumours, with a friend of Ellie's claiming that the pair have been together since November.<\/p>\n
The insider told the Daily Mirror: "Initially, they were friendly but as the weeks went on, their relationship changed. Ellie has made it clear to friends how happy she is with Vito.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"She's not the kind of person to fake something like that for votes. Putting on a showmance isn't her style what you see with her is what you get. When Ellie started Strictly, she was self-conscious and unsure. Now she's radiating confidence, which is lovely."<\/p>\n
The pair's romance also appeared to be confirmed by their former Strictly co-star Amanda Abbington.<\/p>\n
After Ellie posted a sweet photo of herself and Vito, Amanda commented with: "Stunning. So proud of the both of you. You are the most beautiful couple!"<\/p>\n
