Strictly pro Vito Coppola has been flooded with support from co-stars and fans after revealing a new personal project.
Taking to social media, the dancer unveiled a long-awaited project that he had teased earlier this month.
Strictly’s reigning champion shared a video in which he appears to pose for a string of steamy snaps. Vito flaunts his chiselled dancer’s physique in a series topless photos, posing in everything from a cowboy hat and chaps, to combat trousers, and even his boxers.
Fans can get a slice of the action for themselves, as Vito explained that the pictures will feature in his very first calendar, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The dancer wrote: “Hello beautiful people. Finally I can share with you my little new project. My online platform of merchandise… This is just a little thing but I am excited and happy to share it with you all.”
He added: “The platform has just been launched now online. Hope you will like and enjoy it”
Vito’s new merch range also features mugs and aprons emblazoned with the motto: “Love is the best ingredient” and a love heart bearing the dancer’s signature. The star is also flogging a t-shirt that asks: “Do you need a Vito hug?” in bold capitals.
Vito’s dance partner Sarah Hadland was quick to respond to the announcement, joking: “”Do I get the first one ???”
The Strictly professionals also showed their support, with Neil Jones joking: “Can I get one? Well it’s for a friend,” and Nikita Kuzmin adding: “Nowwwwww! send me this calendar hahah.”
Former dance partner and friend Ellie Leach commented: “Yesssssss,” with a string of flame emojis, while It Takes Two host Fleur East requested: “Ha ha!!!! Can we get an apron for Nova in baby size please partner?”
The celebrity well-wishers may have to join the queue though, as Vito’s followers rushed to back the Celebrity MasterChef winner’s latest venture. One commented: “Oh my god! I think all my Christmases have come at once!” and another added: “This just made my year!!!! Calendar ordered – 365 days of Vito?? Who could ask for more!!!!!”
A further viewer wrote: “Oh my word. Calendar’s gone straight to the top of my Christmas list! Actually just give it all to me now,” while another congratulated the dancer: “Bravo, you know your audience!”
