Strictly Come Dancing fans spot secret show feud as they’re convinced pro dancer ‘hates’ rival after spotting clue
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think they've spotted a secret show feud between Graziano Di Prima and Vito Coppola.
BBC One viewers are convinced Graziano, 29, "hates" fellow pro dancer Vito, 31, after watching Saturday night's show.
They've claimed his face looked like thunder when his "rival" was talking to Claudia Winkleman in the Clauditorium.
Taking to an online forum after Saturday night's show, they pondered whether the Italian star was over-accentuating his accent for the cameras.
One wrote, "The look on Graz’s face when Vito was giving his full Italian , tantarella, mozerella, mamma Mia routine. He wasn’t buying it!!"
Another added, "Lol what do these Italian pros have against Vito - they always look unimpressed or bored."

Someone else agreed, "Haha I'm glad someone else spotted it! I said to my mum then 'Look at Graziano's face!' A bit envious I think. Maybe he wants his turn in the limelight!"
A fourth chimed in with, "I think that Vito was all lined up for people to buy into him being Gio 2.0 - the broody and moody Italian heart stealer - and it's turned out that he's pretty much usurped Graz as the loveable cheeky Italian chappy."
One more concluded, "I don't buy Vito's act. The long trying to be funny explanations of dance moves etc. Graza and Gio both know it is fake."
Vito and his dance partner Ellie Leach have continued to fuel romance rumours in recent weeks.
On Saturday, speculation there is more to their relationship continued after it was revealed they had made it to next week's final.
When interviewed afterwards, host Claudia asked Ellie if she had anything she'd like to say to Vito.
With a big smile on her face, the actress said: "Thank you for being the best partner, and the best friend.
"You always making me laugh, always pick me up when I'm down. Always pushing me, to put all that hard work in."
Ellie went on: "Cause without you, I couldn't have done this experience, at all! You have changed my life!"
After this exchange they pair embraced tightly and Vitto was seen wiping away a tear.
