Vito Coppola, Strictly Come Dancing star, has been showered with support from fellow dancers and adoring fans as he revealed his latest personal endeavour.
The professional dancer excitedly took to social media announcing that he could 'finally share' the fruits of his secretive labours, having earlier hinted at a big reveal.
Despite a hectic schedule training with his celebrity partner Sarah Hadland, Vito found time to generate buzz with a video hinting at his project, looking dapper in a crisp black shirt and tailored trousers while striking a series of poses.
With the teasing post, he expressed: "Good day beautiful people. Little news on the way coming soon... Cannot wait to share it with you. In the meantime I wish you an happy day and I send you all my positive energy #alwayswithlove. V."
The wait is finally over as Vito confirmed on Monday evening (November 25) the nature of his secret project. On Instagram, he shared another clip where he was seen effortlessly commanding the camera's attention, divulging that these shots are part of his debut calendar.
