The fomer Strictly pro-turned-Dancing on Ice judge was the one to film their interaction and share it to her Instagram Story. It showed Vito rushing over to her as she was sitting on a sofa and the Italian dancer quickly embraced her while repeatedly pecking her on the cheek.

"Hug me!" Vito could be heard calling out as he rushed over to an already giggling Oti who clearly knew what to expect when being reunited with her fellow dancing star.

Oti continued to laugh as Vito repeated his kisses before she said: "That's all my makeup gone!" A voice could then be heard calling 'Oti' and Vito's latest celebrity dance partner Sarah Hadland got in on the action.

Vito didn't want to miss out as Oti joked: "We're still going!" as he continued on with his kissed before he smiled and said: "I've missed these cheeks!" Sharing the clip to her Instagram Story, Oti wrote: "Surround yourselves with friends that greet you like this."

Vito has since reshared the post in view of his own fans and followers and said: "I cannot describe how much I love this amazing human," alongside a string of hear and kissing face emojis.

The moment came after Sarah and Vito were seen dancing a Cha Cha Cha to the singer's 1989 track, Like a Prayer, over the weekend, marking week seven of Strictly's 2024 series and the show's first-ever 'Icons Week'.

It was later confirmed that Sarah and Vito had been giving the backing of the public and had made it through to week eight of the popular dance programme, which will take place live this Saturday night (November 8). After heading back into a new week of training, Vito and Sarah took to social media to share their thanks with those who voted for them to make it through to another week.

In the clip, the pair repeated their 'thank yous' before saying they were "so grateful and so happy" that they'll be dancing again. Vito told how inside, they are "like little kids" who are excited about their continued journey in the competition.

Alongside the post, Vito typed: "Thank you Thank you Thank you beautiful people! Honestly we are so so Grateful for all the support and the love you have towards us. There is so much hard work behind every single dance and to feel supported and loved by you is the best feeling ever.

"We are working even harder because this is our only way to show you how much we appreciate and how much we are grateful for all your support. You are bringing us to another week. Grazie mille. We love you #teamtiramisu."
