Strictly fans who tuned into spin-off series It Takes Two on Monday night spotted a sweet detail about Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and her dance partner Vito Coppola.
The pair, who have been at the centre of romance rumours recently, wore matching outfits during their appearance on the show, both donning black roll-neck jumpers.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, viewers couldn't help but comment on the detail.
One person wrote: "Ellie and Vito in their adorable matching outfits again," while another added: "Think Ellie & Vito must have texted each other. More or less dressed the same."
© BBCA third fan speculated that the dancing duo could be secretly dating, tweeting: "Ellie and Vito keep turning up to #ItTakesTwo in the same clothes. I'm expecting the paparazzi shot of them kissing any day now," while another commented on Vito's affectionate nature: "Vito couldn't be more all over Ellie if he tried lol. But he was the same with Fleur last year. I think he's just a tactile person."
This isn't the first time the pair have donned similar styles on It Takes Two. Back in October, both Ellie, 22, and Vito, 31, turned up in denim boiler suits.
At the time, viewers took to X with their theories about the couple. "I'm sorry, but I'm convinced Ellie & Vito are together," wrote one person, while another added: "You cannot convince me Ellie and Vito are not a couple."

Last week, in a post showing his appreciation for fans supporting the couple in the competition, Vito shared a touching message to Ellie. "And to you my Lulú.. I am so proud of you and you know how much I believe in you so just keep going and keep working hard as you are already doing every day," penned the dancer. "You are doing great baby. Have a good rest tonight and make sure you eat properly. See you tomorrow for another beautiful day together."
Ellie was quick to respond in the comments section and wrote: "love you love you love you," alongside a string of heart emojis.

More recently, former contestant Amanda Abbington made headlines after referring to the pair as a "couple" in the comments section of Ellie's most recent post.
Following Saturday's show, which saw Ellie and Vito top the leaderboard once again with their incredible American Smooth, the soap star showed her gratitude for making it through another week.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," she penned. "What a magical night, we are so grateful for all of your support and we're soooo happy to be through to another week on that strictly dancefloor."
Amanda was quick to show her pride in the comments section. Praising the pair, she wrote: "Stunning. So proud of the both of you. You are the most beautiful couple!"
