Strictly’s Vito Coppola says ‘always’ as he ‘spoils’ Ellie Goldstein after show exit
The pair were the fifth couple to be eliminated from the current run of the BBC One dance contest last weekend
Ellie Goldstein has said she’s being ‘spoilt’ by Vito Coppola as they continue training despite their Strictly Come Dancing exit.
The pair were the fifth couple to be eliminated from the current run of the BBC One dance contest last weekend as they show marked its annual Halloween special.
During the last live show on Saturday night (November 1), Ellie and Vito performed the tango to Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra in a magic-themed performance, which saw the model and actress pulling her dance partner, dressed as a bunny, out of a hat.
But their Halloween treat turned into a trick, as they were then seen landing in their first dance-off during Sunday’s (November 2) results show, with the pair having to fight for their place in the competition against actress Balvinder Sopal and dancer Julian Caillon.
After both performances, the judges delivered a unanimous verdict. Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse all opted to save Balvinder and Julian, sealing Ellie and Vito’s departure from the show.
Strictly fans were gutted to see the duo leave, but after Vito vowed to stay in Ellie’s life, the pair have been inseparable and were even seen returning to training as a new week got underway.
On Wednesday (November 5), Vito shared a video of the pair on Instagram and said they were going to perfect their next routine, which they’ll film and post on social media for those who have supported them to see.
Now, Ellie has taken to Instagram with a video of herself and Vito in the training room, but they were sitting down for a break. The Italian dancer could be seen setting up their table for lunch, which he had made for them.
Alongside the post, Ellie wrote: “My Italian brother made my favourite wrap #cheekyteam.” In respone, Vito commented: “Always for my little cheeky sister.”
Ellie also added in the comments section: “You spoil me so much @vitocoppola love u,” as fans were quick to share their delight at their partnership continuing away from the competition.
@allyans58 said: “I love this! Such a lovely big brother, little sister bond. Love the cheeky team.” @sandrasmith06 commented: “It’s so lovely to see you both together and Ellie really enjoyed her wrap.” @strictly_reactions wrote: “Love that your still spending everyday together!!

Christina Applegate calls out ‘RHOSLC’ cast’s ‘super gross’ behavior with ‘Below Deck’ crew
Christina Applegate slammed the recent “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” and “Below Deck” crossover episodes, calling the cast’s treatment of the crew “super gross.”
“The treatment of the crew and my pals by the women was super gross,” Applegate wrote via X on Thursday, responding to the network’s episodes the past two Tuesdays.
“I hope they apologized to Jason [Chambers] and Daisy [Kelliher]. Wow,” she added.
On this week’s episode, the “Real Housewives” cast continued their three-day chartered cruise with the “Below Deck” team when “RHOSLC” star Britani Batemen made clear her romantic interest in Captain Jason Chambers amid her “30-day break” from her boyfriend Jared Osmond.
Bateman wasn’t the only one who showed some love to the captain. Her co-star Heather Gay also told the ladies that she and the captain had “f–ked around” before.
Bateman has opened about her love life both on the show and, more recently, with Page Six. While the rest of her castmates appeared to enjoy the conversation on the recent episode, Lisa Barlow was quick to voice her displeasure.
“Enough with the pile on. Like, Captain Jason’s not interested. It’s, like, duh! Right? Back me up on this, Daisy,” Barlow, 50, asked. “Daisy , come on! Is he interested? Say, ‘No. Hard no.’”
Kelliher declined to comment on the captain’s potential feelings.

“It’s ridiculous, and I feel bad for him,” the Vida Tequila founder continued. “I wouldn’t want my name dragged around in a conversation that I’m not a part of. Don’t do this to people.”
Reps for Bravo did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Applegate, 53, didn’t further elaborate on her issue with the ladies’ behavior nor has Chambers, 52, addressed the actress’ remarks.
However, he seemed to happily share a throwback photo with Whitney Rose and Gay to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday.
In the snapshot, the three Bravolebrities got close as they smiled for a selfie which he captioned, “Receipts Proof Timelines Screenshots. Sydney 2024,” referencing Gay’s now-iconic Season 4 line.
He also praised “RHOSLC” star Angie Katsanevas in a follow-up post as he complimented her for having the “strength to get back up and go back down again and rise for the last day to get through this charter.”
In October, Chambers shared he “didn’t know” what he and his cast were in for prior to his trip with the women of Salt Lake City.
“What a way to start a season, I’ll tell you,” he told Us Weekly. “To be quite honest, there’s a lot going on now. There’s a lot happening, and I don’t think you could fit that much into a three-day charter.”
“I don’t think we’ve had [that] much drama go on, [but] it was so much fun too. I don’t know how much I can say, but from some injury happening, I’m playing doctor to one of them,” he added. “I was a doctor. I was a yoga instructor. I was a Zen master. I had to be everything to try and calm the whole thing down.”
