Strictly Come Dancing 2023 winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were spotted arriving back at their hotel in north London on Wednesday evening.
The actress, 22, and professional dancer, 31, who have been linked romantically since the start of the series, were crowned champions during the glitzy finale.
The duo have now been pictured arriving the hotel after rehearsing for the live Strictly 2024 tour.
Ellie wrapped up for the cold in a long-line leather jacket and a multi-coloured scarf. She paired the outfit with baggy jeans and Ugg shoes.
Meanwhile, Vito also opted for a patterned scarf, and carried a brown over-the-shoulder bag.

It comes after Ellie and Vito revealed they are getting matching tattoos.
The duo appeared on Wednesday’s This Morning to discuss their ‘great relationship’, weeks after the show ended.
Host Craig Doyle bluntly asked: ‘Are they a couple?’
Vito, 31, responded: ‘We have a great relationship and we are going to have a tattoo – as a joke – before we got to the final we promised ourselves we would get one of an Aubergine.’
Ellie, 22, added: ‘We said if we made it to the final we would get a tattoo, but it was just a joke, we didn’t expect to get there!
Vito continued: ‘At the end we decided to do a B with the body of an Aubergine because a B is a Brazilian insect. But that is a symbol of our bond.’
Ellie and Vito’s latest posts come after they broke their silence on rumours of a romance as they appeared on This Morning last year.

The pair had been linked romantically since the start of the series, before they were crowned champions during last month’s glitzy finale.
This Morning host Josie Gibson asked them: ‘I’ve got to ask because the chemistry between you is magic. We’ve seen you on that dancefloor and it was so beautiful to watch.
‘Is there any romance between you guys. Are the rumours true or not?’
Ellie then replied: ‘Honestly, we’ve just been having the most amazing time dancing and we’ve built a really strong bond and a friendship that will last forever.’
Vito echoed: ‘We have a really beautiful bond, a good bond. When you see a person and you connect with a person straight away.

‘I’m a very first impression and when we met, we had that feeling that we knew each other for so long. I’m so so lucky to have you in my life.’
Josie’s co-host Craig Doyle then continued to probe, adding: ‘There’s 100 per cent romance, 100 per cent… I can see it.’
Ellie and Vito then quickly exclaimed: ‘No, no.’
Ellie went on: ‘We’ve been through so much together, we’ve spent everyday together for the past three months.
‘So we’re really really lucky to have that bond that we’ve got and we’ll be friends for life.’
