STRICTLY Come Dancing's Tess Daly has done nothing to quash romance rumours about Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
Tess, 54, was quizzed about the pair on spin-off show Strictly: It Take Two and has added fuel to the fire with a telltale remark.
After raising her eyebrows and saying "Ooooh" at the mention of their names, Tess said: "I think with Ellie, she's just having so much fun.
"And that's a part of it for her, because she's loving every second of the training room with Vito.
"They get on so well, so it's not like work for her! It's like, 'Yeah, give me another one, I'm loving this!'"

Tess's co-star Claudia Winkleman, meanwhile, described Ellie's newfound confidence as "magic to watch".
"She's much more confident and he's done that for her," she added, in another sweet nod to Vito.
Coronation Street actress Ellie, 22, and professional dancer Vito, 31, have made it through to this weekend's semi-final of Strictly Come Dancing.
Over the weeks, fans have been gripped by their blossoming relationship while also watching them climb the leaderboard.
The pair have not confirmed they are dating, but they haven't denied it either.
Last week, Vito described Ellie as a 'shining diamond for a perfect ring' during a cost appearance on It Takes Two.
The pair giggled and touched each others arms during the interview on the BBC2 show.
Ellie has also told how her dad "loves" Vito and they have been busy posing for plenty of intimate pictures together.
Last weekend, the pair finished in second place on the leaderboard, with a judges' score of 36.

They was no public vote off, however, as Nigel Harman and Katya Jones quit just hours before Saturday night's show.
Nigel had suffered a rib injury in training and they were forced to pull out of the competition.
