Ahed of their latest performance, Vito revealed how she was “spoiled” by the wardrobe department on the long-running Saturday night show, who created special trainers for her. Speaking to the Express, the Italian dancer shared: “You are the only contestant wardrobe spoiled.
“Because as Ellie arrived, in her own trainers, they made covered them in stones (diamantes). All the others people are saying, ‘Oh my God, I want the same trainers as Ellie’, and they said, ‘No, that’s only for you!’”
He added: “They did it because they love you,” to which 23-year-old Ellie quipped: “It’s not my fault.”
Ellie also spoke about the dances she has found most challenging to date, which were the Waltz and their Cha Cha Cha, which she described as “cheeky”.
Vito explained: “I think because they are so contrasting it was two weeks in a row and we had to do two completely different style and not having any ballroom or Latin experience it’s quite (a change).”
