TV PRESENTER Helen Skelton had a ball with Vito Coppola on the Strictly tour - and word on the dance floor is the couple are stepping out on casual dates.
Sources say the Countryfile host and the professional dancer have "bonded" after spending time together on the show tour bus as it travelled between UK cities.
Mum-of-three Helen, 39 - who hot-footed it to last year's final with Gorka Marquez - has been single since splitting from her rugby star husband Richie Myler, 32, just months before the 2022 Strictly season kicked off.

A source said last night: "Helen and Vito were good friends during Strictly, but really bonded on tour.
