Since the pairing of Ellie Leach<\/a> and Vito Coppola on Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> began, fans have speculated over a possible romance between the two, largely based on their chemistry during their performances, which have often seen them top the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

While the pair have not commented publicly about the rumours, it seems the dancing duo pay no attention to them, and are focused on their dancing and nothing more.<\/p>\n

Speaking to press including RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Coppola said: \u201cWe are so into the rehearsal all day. We have so many things to think about, you know, and choreography, and after we finish we have the time to eat fast enough and we nap a little bit because we need the energy to continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo after we go home, we say, like, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s just make sure that we go to eat and we go to sleep because [the] next day we have to be able to [do it] again,\u2019 so we really are so focused on all this beautiful experience.\u201d<\/p>

Vito and Ellie have been topping the leaderboard<\/a> since the early days of the competition, with the judges<\/a> often impressed with Ellie\u2019s eagerness to learn and ability to come back to the competition stronger each weekend.<\/p>\n

While the duo are yet to score a perfect 40, they have been scoring 38s and 39s, and with the final around the corner, it\u2019s surely only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

As it goes with competition shows, anything could happen, and while it would be a dream to win Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night, Ellie feels she already has.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrictly has always been a dream, so to have had this experience, I already feel like I\u2019ve won,\u201d she told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely do feel like I\u2019ve won. Obviously, it would be nice to win, but coming into Strictly I just wanted to have fun and enjoy every single moment, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if we win, amazing, and if we don\u2019t win, it\u2019s still amazing. I\u2019ve had the most incredible experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vito echoed Ellie\u2019s sentiments, noting that they are \u201creally enjoying every single day\u201d.<\/p>
