In the teaser clip ahead of Saturday night's episode, Ellie describes the routine as "very intense" and "close".
Vito adds, "The space between us is like a ball of fire," before admitting he's been making sure his breath is fresh.

Vito even swerved addressing rumours they're more than just friends when they appeared on Tuesday's episode of Lorraine.
