Strictly’s Vito Coppola drives fans wild as he shows off his ripped physique with a series of steamy shirtless posts

by

Vito Coppola caused a stir among his fans on Wednesday by sharing some revealing photos of his muscular body.

The 33-year-old professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing shared a video on his Instagram Story of himself without a shirt, getting ready to teach a class at his dance school.

While rehearsing in the studio, Vito reminded everyone that today was the final chance to buy a signed copy of his 2026 calendar.

The dancer, who won this year’s Christmas special alongside Scarlett Moffatt, was wearing black joggers as he walked away from the camera.

Vito and Scarlett won this year’s dancing competition.

The pair performed a Cha Cha to Cher’s “DJ Play A Christmas Song” and earned a perfect score of 40 from all four judges: Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Oti Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke.

Oh my gosh, you guys, I was totally glued to the screen watching this! It was incredible seeing Babatunde Aléshé, he’s hilarious, and Brian McFadden, can he do anything?! Then there was Jodie Ounsley from Gladiators, seriously strong, and Melanie Blatt from All Saints – a total icon! And Nicholas Bailey, I recognize him from EastEnders, was amazing too! They were all competing, and it was just… everything!

After winning the show, Scarlett, known for first appearing on Gogglebox in 2014, said she was thrilled. ‘This is amazing!’ she exclaimed, adding, ‘I wish I’d written a speech beforehand!’

This Christmas gift was absolutely amazing! We all had such a wonderful time.

Vito described their dance as a joyful Cha Cha Cha, simply a celebration of movement.

As far as we know, we’re the first couple on Strictly to dance to this song since Cher performed it on the show a few years back.

‘Honestly, the choreography is quite challenging. I have tried to challenge Scarlett. 

It’s really fast – quicker than a typical Cha Cha rhythm, but we can manage it! It has a lot of energy, and we’ve packed a lot into the limited time we have.

It’s incredibly flashy and over-the-top, almost like a vibrant club atmosphere. There’s a lot of spinning and movement – I’m constantly twirling and getting tossed around, it’s quite intense! However, despite all the spectacle, it still requires a lot of skill and precision.

Scarlett explained that they’ve focused on refining the technique to be incredibly precise and impactful, and they also want the whole experience to be a fun and inclusive celebration for everyone.

When I create a dance, my main goal is to find opportunities to share joy and happiness with the audience – to create a moment that draws people in and makes them feel good.

Vito explained they hope people will feel comfortable joining in and dancing along with them, even from home.

Scarlett, known for her appearances on Gogglebox, used to be a dedicated dancer. When she was younger, she trained to a semi-professional level in ballroom and Latin styles.

Scarlett shared that participating in the show was surprisingly active for her. She usually prefers to be seated, but she’s really enjoyed being so much more mobile.

‘It’s fun finding out that you’ve got muscles that you didn’t know you had. That’s been quite cool.

I feel really proud because Vito teaches me new moves, and at first they seem impossible. But then, with practice, I’m able to do them! It’s a great feeling of accomplishment.
