Ellie Leach had a surprise message for her dance partner, Vito Coppola, during Strictly Come Dancing’s semi-final results show on Sunday 10 December.
After discovering they’d secured their spot in the Strictly grand finale by public vote, Claudia Winkleman asked the visibly thrilled 22-year-old actress what she’d like to say to Vito.
“Thank you so much for being the best partner, the best friend, always making me laugh, always picking me up when I feel down, always pushing me to put all that hard work in,” Ellie gushed.
“Without you, I couldn’t have done this experience at all. You have changed my life.”
