Strictly's ellie leach hits out at partner as vito say's injury may spark 'end'

Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Leach sparked concern as she suffered a “painful” injury while training ahead of the BBC show. The Coronation Street actress, 22, cheekily yelled at her

dance partner Vito Coppola, 31, during rehearsals as she was seen on the floor in pain. After surviving the first elimination, the pair are now back training for Movie Week ahead of the show

at the weekend. The Italian-born professional dancer took to Instagram today and posted a candid video. In view of his 146,000 followers, Vito posted on his story which saw Ellie sitting on

the floor with her ankle bleeding. In the video, she said to Vito: “Look at the state of my shoes”, as her ballroom heels had caused a deep cut on her foot. Vito was quick to dismiss the

minor injury and replied “What’s the trauma?”. Ellie was visibly in pain and said: “It's painful. That’s actually come off my skin”. She pleaded with the 11th-time Italian and Latin

American Champion, as she begged for him to empathise with her. “For once in your life please just feel sorry for me." To Vito’s amusement, he joked: “I think this is the end of your

journey." Before he could finish his sentence, Ellie was quick to jump in and said, “you are not getting rid of me that quick”, before turning over and stretching. Ellie was seen

donning leggings and a T-shirt with a long blue skirt for their rehearsal while donning minimal makeup. Earlier this week the pair were spotted during a beach day and Ellie took to Instagram

to share pictures from their day out with her 230,000 followers, as she said they were "having the time of our lives". In one picture she was beaming at the camera as she relaxed

on a sun lounger while Vito was also seen smiling as he was buried under the sand. Commenting on the post, one fan said: "You were absolutely brilliant, you got two out of my three

votes on Saturday night. Just love you two together." A second wrote: "You and Vito are my favourite couple. Just gorgeous together and you are a fabulous dancer."

"I'm really shipping you guys," said a third. _STRICTLY COME DANCING AIRS ON SATURDAY ON BBC ONE AT 6.20PM._
