The 2023 Glitterball Trophy winners performed a stunning routine for the first show of 2024.

After their performance, the couple, who were at the centre of romance rumours last year, told host Tess Daly they remain close.

Vito said: “Don’t worry, I am very present in her life, I often call her at 7am and wake her up.

“She will never get rid of me.”
