BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Vito Coppola branded 'outrageous' as he shares sweating video

Vito Coppola was branded 'outrageous' by one of his former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars - and we don't think they mean it in a bad way. It came after the dancer took to social media with a video of his hip-shaking moves which proved to work up a sweat.

Vito, 33, has recently been spending time with fellow pro dancer Dianne Buswell after the pair revealed they'd be hitting the road next year. Their Red Hot and Ready show will take them around the country across June and July 2025 after they both return to Strictly this autumn.

And the Italian star appears to be working hard and perfecting his moves if his latest social media post is anything to go by. Vito shared a video in which he could be seen perspiring heavily as he rolled his body in impressive circular motions.

Captioning the post, he said to his 314,000 followers: "Just a little samba exercise keeping the rhythm for the weekend. I love samba! Do you want more? … and Yes, that’s all sweat. I didn’t throw any water on me.

"You can also see Gorjellina @diannebuswell while filming. What dance would you like to see next? I can create and share with you more exercises of any dance." Vito added: "As always KEEP DANCIIING."

Among the first to respond with Vito's former Strictly partner Fleur East who recalled her own experience with the dancer. She laughed as she said: "Ah yes! I remember having to bring 2 towels to rehearsals for THAT sweat!! Samba king! Yes partnerrrr!!!!!" Bobby Brazier, who made it to the 2023 final, commented: "Outrageous." BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball wrote: "HOLY," with a flame emoji.

And Vito's fans and followers were also quick to respond. @linzirob02 said: "Ooft!! I need a lie down after watching that." @concorde1762 commented: "Vito, those moves are pure filth, but I love it lol." @lis.th wrote: "The way you move your body is incredible."

@fanny_lane52 posted: "Yes please to more samba!!!!" @designer_diva2 replied: "You are literally like hot molten lava the way fluidity flows through your body - it is absolutely mesmerising to watch." @nathanpain2000 added: "@vitocoppola yes Vito, these hips don’t lie. Keep dancing."
