Strictly Come Dancing star Vito Coppola claims he made a photography error with winner Ellie Leach after she and co-star Bobby Brazier were snapped leaving a hotel together.The Coronation Street actress and professional dancer had fans of the BBC competition convinced that they were in a romantic relationship due to their intense connection on the 2023 series of the show.The pair sparked rumours after a string of passionate dances and how they gushed about one another off the dancefloor.Both Ellie and Vito are single as the 22-year-old called it quits with her boyfriend back in May last year while Vito, 31, is said to be back on the market after reportedly enjoying a string of dates with ex-Strictly star Helen Skelton last year.The actress has now been linked to co-star Bobby, 20, and it was reported that the pair have been on secret rendezvous together as they embarked on the Strictly live tour across the UK, the Mirror reports.It's also been claimed that they've been seen holding hands on the tour bus and even shared a "cheeky snog" in front of others.Neither Ellie or Bobby have confirmed or denied the speculation as the show's fans are kept guessing a month after the gripping final.Yesterday, Vito uploaded two photos of them standing side by side but the exposure of the image was not as perfect as he liked.He wrote: " These pics came out like this by mistake but, at the end I like it so much.

It's just unique and represents exactly us and our journey. So special!" Ellie and Vito both recently insisted that they are both just really good friends but will be in each others lives 'forever'.

Vito told the Mirror: "We have a great relationship and honestly when you just find people, not just me and Ellie but their family
