BBC Strictly's Vito Coppola sends sweet message to partner after career move

Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola was partnered with a popular celebrity during his first year on the show and has remained close friends with them ever since

Vito, who joined the popular dance show alongside Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas, along with the singer, radio and TV personality, bagged the first perfect score of the series and subsequently made it to the grand finale. However, they narrowly missed out on the coveted Glitterball trophy, finishing as runners-up behind victors Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał, as well as Helen Skelton and Gorka Márquez, and Molly Rainford and Carlos. Fleur posted a snapshot of herself channelled as Tina and snippets of precious moments spent with her husband and daughter Nova amidst shows, captioning it: "Life in Nutbush and beyond...Grateful for it all."
