Strictly Come Dancing winner ‘in talks for new TV show’ with co-star

Two Strictly Come Dancing stars could possibly be fronting their own TV show together after winning over fans with their friendship.

Strictly Come Dancing favourites Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Vito Coppola are rumoured to be in discussions for their own telly show after their joint appearances on other programmes.

Gladiator Harry was paired with Karen Hauer on last year’s Strictly, while Vito – a previous glitterball trophy winner with Ellie Leach – partnered with Ellie Goldstein.

The duo had previously appeared together on Celebrity MasterChef, where Vito emerged victorious and Harry was a finalist.

Their camaraderie and shared social media workouts have reportedly caught the attention of TV executives.

According to The Sun, the pair are being considered for their own programme, tentatively titled Culture Clash, which would see them tackling cultural challenges.

This follows a series of travel shows featuring stars like Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice, and Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark.

Speaking to the publication, Harry hinted: “Have me and Vito got a show in the pipeline . . . probably!”

He added: “Obviously, we have a commonality over food because we both did MasterChef.

“We just love experiencing life, and I think people can do with an injection of positivity,” reports Wales Online.

He further suggested, “It’s almost like what Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan do, I think that would be good for people to see. Those guys are a bit negative though, we can be more positive!”

The Gladiator star previously shared his plans for the travel programme with The Mirror, stating: “I’m working on a travel show with Vito and I’m pretty sure we’ll make the nation laugh. I want to get into the presenting, hosting space.

“I like the entertainment side of things. I recognise that I bring a certain energy to certain places and I think the nation appreciates it.”

He continued, “I like bringing positivity out in people. Vito is good in terms of telling me to calm down. We’ve got a bit of a bromance going on. The thing is, we’re both similar in the sense that when our energy is high, it’s fire.”

“But when we did Masterchef, the amount of naps that we took together, it was ridiculous.”

Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
