Vito Coppola, the dynamic dancer known for his participation in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, has recently made headlines by winning the prestigious Celebrity MasterChef competition in 2024. This victory not only showcases his culinary skills but also adds another layer to his multifaceted career.

Born in Eboli, Italy, in 1992, Coppola began dancing at the tender age of six at his father’s dance academy. His early dedication to dance paid off when he secured his first Italian championship title at just 10 years old. Since joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, he has captured the hearts of fans with his energetic performances.

In addition to his recent culinary success, Coppola has announced the release of his first book, titled ‘Love, Vito’, set to hit the shelves in August 2026. The book promises to be a collection of stories about his life intertwined with his passions for dance and food. “Hello beautiful people. I am so excited to finally share the news with you all.. My first book is coming in August! It’s called ‘Love, Vito’ and is full of stories about my life through dancing and of course food!” he shared enthusiastically.

Coppola’s partnership with fellow dancer Ellie Goldstein during the 2026 Strictly Come Dancing Live tour has also been a highlight of his career. Their chemistry on stage has been palpable, further endearing him to the audience.

His relationship with Katya Jones, another prominent figure in the dance world, has drawn attention as well. Coppola has referred to her as “dangerous” due to their shared energetic dancing style, stating, “I love Katya. She’s full on… we have the same energy level. That’s good on one side, on the other side it can be quite dangerous.” He humorously recalled an injury he sustained during their time together: “My jaw still clicks here because I got a beautiful, amazing, very powerful Katya elbow in my jaw on my first year.”

Despite his public persona, details about Coppola’s personal life remain somewhat elusive. His relationship status with Valentina Sica, rumored to have been dating last year, is currently uncertain as no recent photographs have emerged.

Coppola’s strong family ties are evident, as he often shares moments with his relatives on social media. He has expressed that “The love of my family, which is my root, my refuge, my strength,” highlighting the importance of his support system.

As Vito Coppola continues to navigate his career in both dance and culinary arts, fans eagerly await his next moves and the stories he will share in his upcoming book. His journey reflects a blend of talent, passion, and a deep connection to his roots.
