Strictly’s Vito Coppola finally goes Instagram official with stunning girlfriend on holiday before 2025 rehearsals begin

STRICTLY star Vito Coppola has thrilled fans by sharing the first ever photo with his girlfriend.

Hunky Vito captured a shot with the raven-haired beauty in a mirror for their debut social media snap.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 32, took to Instagram Stories to share a picture of him and his new love ahead of rehearsals.

The Strictly pro dancer can be seen alongside his new belle in the picture wearing a lemon-themed outfit.

The star looks happy and content in a cute baby blue jumper and shorts, while giving the camera a wink and pointing cheekily into the lens.

His girlfriend has been revealed as personal brand strategist, Italian stunner Valentina Sica.

The brunette bombshell can be seen displaying her svelte figure in a red tie top and white trousers, showing off her trim waist.

Along with poker-straight dark hair, her enviable figure is adorned with a belly button piercing.

The Sun revealed last year how Vito and fellow Strictly dancer Jowita Pryzstal had reportedly grown closer.

Fans previously shared a "clue" on Reddit that the pair were dating.

They showed a screenshot from Jowita's Instagram story, where she'd posted an Italy fact.

It read: "Study shows that eating Tiramisu in Italy scientifically makes you happier."

During last year's series of Strictly, Vito was partnered with Miranda star Sarah Hadland.

They came runners-up to comedian Chris McCausland and Aussie pro Dianne Buswell.

Fan favourite Vito was also previously linked to Ellie Leach.

The pair sparked romance rumours as they cuddled up in a video in 2023 for a very flirty chat and 'gazed into each other's eyes'.

Strictly has signed up a new Italian dancer to replace Giovanni Pernice on the new BBC1 series.

Simone Arena, 33, whose girlfriend Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, is also on the show, is set to be a new dancer after BBC producers revealed that two new pros would join the line-up this autumn.

It comes after Giovanni, 34, quit the scandal-hit show last summer after nine years on Strictly as he faced allegations over his training methods with previous celebrity partners — including 51-year-old actress Amanda Abbington.

Pro dancer Vito saddened fans earlier in the year after pulling out of the Strictly Come Dancing tour after a previous injury flared up again.

The Italian dancer was forced to announce his withdrawal from the live tour with an emotional statement after just one show.

With the upcoming series around the corner, Sarah James, Executive Producer at BBC Studios revealed news about the upcoming spectacular this autumn.

She said in a statement: “The excitement is already building ahead of the new series and in addition to welcoming back our fantastic returning pros, we are looking forward to welcoming two brand new professional dancers to the line up who will help bring another unforgettable series of dazzling dance and loads more besides to viewers later in 2025.”
