Vito Coppola has had everyone talking following his latest update on social media, as he posted a video cooking alongside his mum Rosa. However it was his mum who captured the attention away from the professional dancer.

The Strictly Come Dancing favourite shared the footage on Instagram from his trip back to his homeland of Italy, where him and his beloved mum Rosa were seen preparing Pasta alla Norma, an iconic Sicilian dish with aubergine.

Alongside the video, Vito penned: "Let's cook with mamma Rosa. Watch the full video on my YouTube channel: VITO's WAY and let me know in the comments what do you think. Have you ever tried this pasta? ? What dish would like me to make for you? #loveisthebestingredient."

The post quickly caught attention, but fans were notably taken aback by how youthful Rosa appearance as reported by Manchester Evening News. One fan page on social media remarked: "Your mum is beautiful, she looks so young."

Another fan exclaimed: "Your mum? ? ? ? Wow she looks amazing x." Someone else observed: "She can't possibly be your mamma... She looks so young! ! ! Like, 30 tops! ! !"

Someone else commented: "Your Mom? Looks so young." One fan joked: "That lady is not old enough to be your mother @vitocoppola! ! What do they put in the food in Italy? I'm moving there asap if makes me look THAT good!"

Another added, "Your mum is beautiful, I thought she was your sister. She looks very youthful."

Vito is currently touring across the nation alongside fellow Strictly star Dianne Buswell with their own show. The pair announced last year in May their plans for a joint tour - Dianne and Vito: Red Hot and Ready.

In a sweet reunion, many of their Strictly co-stars gathered to watch them perform at London's West End Shaftesbury Theatre last month whilst more recently, Strictly pro Gorka Marquez and Vito's champion dance partner Ellie Leach caught their show closer to home in Manchester.

Elsewhere, Vito took to social media earlier in the week and penned a heartfelt message to his brother Jonathan. It comes following hints that his sibling features in the production, although he's not physically present.
