Strictly It Takes Two fans slam host's 'cruel' comments to Vito Coppola

Strictly fans were not happy after Vito Coppola was "done the dirty" during Wednesday's instalment of It Takes Two.

The BBC Two sister show to the dancing competition sees alternating professional dancers undertake the same challenge in the bid to be top of the leader board. Hosted by Rylan Clark and Janette Manrara, previous winners and current participants are also invited along to give their view on the latest Strictly gossip.

Wednesday's episode saw Vito Coppola undertake the current challenge. This year, the professionals are attempting to set a world record, for the most back Charleston kick-steps in 30 seconds.

Tonight, Vito seemed to breeze through the task, before sitting down with Janette to hear how he got on. Janette said: "Vito, you said you were going to go slow, but you looked really quick".

Vito replied: "I can go much faster, I was trying to go slow". Janette then revealed Vito managed a huge 18 steps in the allotted time.

Hearing this, an elated Vito jumped into the air and screamed, as this put him at joint first place. However, Janette then told the 30-year-old five of his steps had been disqualified, meaning he was actually in joint last place.

Some fans were not happy with how the events played out. Taking to Twitter, Charlotte said: "Don't do Vito dirty, not Vito please." Eleanor said: "Aww that was so cruel. Poor Vito, his wee face". Kez said: "That was so harsh on poor Vito, you even high fived him!!", and Lisa said: "That was so mean".

Strictly: It Takes Two returns tomorrow (Thursday) at 6.30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer
