Helen Skelton and Strictly dancer Vito Coppola grow close after they 'bonded' on tour

Helen Skelton has grown close to one of Strictly's pro dancers on tour, it has emerged. A source has revealed that Helen, 39, has been "bonding" with Vito Coppola on the Strictly tour.

Mum-of-three Helen made it to the final of last year's contest with partner Gorka Marquez. She has been single since she split from rugby star husband Richie Myler, 32, just months before the 2022 show started. Vito also made the 2022 final, dancing with singer-songwriter Fleur East, reports the Mirror.

A source said: “Helen and Vito were good friends during Strictly, but really bonded on tour. There were two buses for the cast – the party bus and the quiet bus.
