Strictly Come Dancing winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola have recently had a cute reunion with another pro dancer.
The former Coronation Street star had a catchup with her dance partner Vito and Strictly pro Dianne Buswell in Manchester, where the two dancers are performing in Strictly Come Dancing The Professionals.
Vito took to his Instagram Stories to mark the special moment, saying his "baby" came to see him. The dancer encouraged fans to go see Ellie on stage as Miss Scarlett in Cluedo 2 - The Next Chapter, currently being performed at the Lyceum in Sheffield until May 18.

Meanwhile, those who find themselves in Manchester will be able to see Vito and Dianne take to the dance floor for the pro show together with their Strictly pals.
Vito and Dianne took some time out of their Strictly tour to announce an exciting project that will see the both of them take to the stage together in Red Hot and Ready. The show will tour the UK next year, promising to bring a "high-voltage dance extravaganza" to the audience.

Taking to Instagram to reveal the news to her followers, Dianne shared a poster for their joint show.
"We are so, so excited to finally introduce you all to our brand-new show DIANNE & VITO 'Red Hot and Ready' presented by Burn the Floor," she captioned the post. "We've been working on this project for such a long time and we cannot wait to share this special show with the whole of the UK in 2025!"
"I can't wait to be on tour with the amazing, beautiful, vibrant Dianne Buswell!" Vito joined in the excitement. "It's going to be Red, it's going to be Hot, and we are going to be super Ready and bring to you so much joy and smiles and happiness."
Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
