Viewers said they had 'no idea' after missing what Ellie Leach was doing during her first performance on
Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night (December 9). It was crunch time for the former Coronation Street star and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola as they are favourites to make it through to next weekend's final. The pair kicked off their semi-final in fourth position behind Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell before Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin and Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe took to the dancefloor with their first dances of the night. Ellie was told by head judge Shirley Ballas that she had some “unique and beautiful leg actions” following the performance of a cha cha cha to Mambo Italiano by Bette Midler with her dance partner Vito.

But it appears that all eyes were on Vito thanks to a very specific wardrobe choice. @sweetch01996500 said: "I must admit, I missed a lot of that cha cha, I couldn’t take my eyes away from Vito’s firm peachy bum. I mean, seriously. It’s distracting!#StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly." Vito caused a distraction for Striclty viewers @Dolly_Darren commented: "Bloody hell! It was very difficult to concentrate on that brilliant Cha Cha as @VickyGillDesign has basically painted Vito's pants on! #Strictly." @edgarandrewpoe wrote: "Vito’s trousers deserve a 10 by themselves tbh #Strictly." @lmjwoww asked: "Which stylist put Vito in those trousers? #strictly." @RunsWithPencil posted: "10s all round to Vito’s tailor there. #Strictly." @simonkaston shared: "Utter filth. @Vito__Coppola's trousers so so tight. But totally here for it #Strictly." @meganpsitn added: "That was a lovely dance...well the dancing I watched when I wasn't, shall we say, distracted by Vito #Strictly."
