Strictly: Fleur East says Vito Coppola was ‘mean’ to her

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Vito Coppola seemingly has his eye on the judging panel as he admitted he’d like to follow in Anton Du Beke’s footsteps.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk at Sunday’s Pride Of Britain Awards, the 31-year-old dancer said it would be “a big dream” to become a judge on the BBC programme.

He continued: “But I feel like, you know I’m still at the beginning.

“I just came from Italy so I don’t know when, but I mean they’re like the best example to follow, so it would be a pleasure one day.

“But now let’s keep our feet on the ground and I’m still on my second year!”

When asked about what he thinks of the judges’ scoring and criticisms, he replied: “I agree 110 percent with the judges.

“They are so expert and professional they’re like the top-level judges in the world.

“So we respect them so much, and we take all their feedback and we work on it.

“Every single criticism is a constructive one, and it’s to make us do better and dance better, so we are more than happy to take it and to work on it.”

This year, Vito has been partnered with former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach.

Speaking about the reaction they’ve received from the public, he admitted: “I didn’t expect so much appreciation from the public.

“Ellie has never danced before, not any kind of dance, so everything is for the first time – every step, and they know it.

“And they’ve been in touch with us and we are so, so grateful.”

Strictly Come Dancing has now lost two contestants as Nikita Kanda and Gorka Marquez became the second couple of the series to be voted out.

It came after the radio presenter found herself in the dance-off with Zara Mcdermott and Graziano di Prima.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.
