Strictly’s Ellie Leach shows off her bruised arms

Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola has had to support celebrity partner Ellie Leach after she unveiled bruises from countless hours of rehearsals for Saturday’s show.

The 31-year-old took to his Instagram stories to tell his 235,000 followers about the blood, sweat and tears that really go on behind the scenes during training.

Vito appeared on camera as he asked Ellie, 22: “Can we show the upgraded version of your new bruises?”

The camera then panned on the actress and she showed off her shocking purple bruises on her arms and elbow.

She then lowered her leggings slightly and showed a big bruise on her hip, as Vito told her it was “worth it”.

The duo will be performing a Charleston to Love Machine by Girls Aloud as they gear up for Blackpool week at the Tower Ballroom.

Vito and Ellie recently addressed rumours about their relationship after it was previously reported that the pair might be more than just friends.
