Strictly: Tess and Claudia open the show
Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman shut down Vito Coppola following a confession during Saturday’s live show (November 25).
The awkward moment came after Ellie Leach and Vito wowed judges with their Argentine Tango.
The Coronation Street star, 22, and the professional dancer, 31, impressed with their stellar week 10 routine to Destiny’s Child hit Bills, Bills, Bills.
After the dance, the duo joined host Claudia Winkleman upstairs in the studio to talk about their latest performance while they awaited the judge’s scores.
“This dance takes so much control”, Claudia said as Vito added: “So much control, honestly.”

The dancer then turned to Ellie and continued: “It was difficult because coming from the last week it was very spread out, everything, I said this is completely in.
“So you have a ball of fire, just keep in. Look at me, and I said ‘eat me with your eyes’.”
Vito’s comments sparked cheers from other celebs and Strictly professionals as the pair burst out laughing.
Keeping a straight face, Claudia remarked: “That’s more than enough, thank you very much”, as she raised one hand and added: “Good luck, the scores are in.”

Vito and Ellie impressed judges with their Argentine Tango and scored 38 points, placing them at the top of this week’s leaderboard.
Vito’s remarks came only hours after he fuelled rumours of a potential romance with Ellie on Instagram.
The pro dancer shared a series of snaps from a photoshoot with his partner on the social media platform.
He penned: “Live the present and be grateful for what you have in life. Be happy for waking up every morning and appreciate the small things. This makes the real Happiness”.
“These are the words that Lulú and I keep repeating to each other.”
Ellie then replied in the comments section: “Always live in the present and appreciate the little things. So lucky and grateful for this experience with you xxx.” (sic)
This has left numerous Strictly fans guessing whether or not the pair have let slip that they’re more than just friends.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Sunday evening on BBC One.
