Since first arriving on our screens in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola have delighted viewers week after week with their sensational performances. <\/p>\n

But while their constantly improving dance technique has been the source of much public interest, it\u2019s the couple\u2019s love lives that have really gotten fans talking, with several viewers believing a romance could have blossomed between the pair thanks to their sizzling chemistry. <\/p>\n

While neither star have ever publicly revealed if sparks have flown between them, both stars have shared complimentary and affectionate words of support to each other both on air and on social media.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, despite the abundance of \u2018clues\u2019 that eagle-eyed fans are convinced they\u2019ve spotted that hint at a new romance, Strictly host Tess Daly has revealed the pair have a very different dynamic as she compared them to siblings while appearing on It Takes Two. <\/p>\n

The surprising bombshell came during Wednesday 6 December\u2019s edition of the show, when Tess was joined by her partner in crime, Claudia Winkleman for a sit down chat with Fleur East about their thoughts on the upcoming final, which is now just two weeks away. <\/p>\n

Fleur kicked things off by asking about how close the cast had all become this year, as she asked Tess what it had been like to see them form such close bonds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThey genuinely are just like a family, aren\u2019t they? Ellie and Vito are like brother and sister, Bobby and Dianne and Annabel and Johannes have got this \u2014 they\u2019re going to be best friends forever.<\/p>\n

Reeling off each partnership in turn, Tess then delivered a number of tongue in cheek comments, which included a lighthearted tease at Annabel, when she said: \u201dShe\u2019s literally doing his laundry and everything and has invited him to move in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The star then also went on to describe Layton and Nikita\u2019s relationship, as \u201ca really special bond\u201d before she admitted that she and Claudia were \u201clike the aunties just looking after everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Claudia also weighed in on Ellie and Vito\u2019s connection as she told Fleur that: \u201cI think with Ellie it\u2019s her confidence. That\u2019s sort of magic to watch. Do you remember when we first came?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tess then chimed in, as she added: \u201dI don\u2019t think she knows how good she is, still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claudia agreed, \u201cBut she\u2019s much more confident now, he\u2019s done that for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hinting at what fans can expect this weekend as the pair take on the challenge of a couple\u2019s choice dance, Claudia then added: \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be tremendous. His attention to detail, their relationship, her musicality. They\u2019re going to fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday 9 December at 7:35pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
