Vito Coppola on Strictly, Food & His Favourite Wine

This week on Bottoms Up!, it’s an Italian special as the boys are joined by Strictly Glitterball Champion and newly crowned author Vito Coppola!

Vito chats about his brand-new book, Love Vito: My Story of Food, Family and Finding Home, as well as spilling the tea on the new series of Strictly.

After a Limoncello starter, Vito brings his favourite Italian aperitivo to share with the boys… but what will Alan make of it when he discovers it’s non-alcoholic?!

The trio discuss Strictly’s same-sex pairings and this year’s new line-up, Vito’s love of food, his Nonna’s secret recipes, what he really thinks of Greggs, and which Strictly dance he absolutely hates.

Plus, Lee has devised a game of ‘Strictly Come Drinking’, complete with judges’ scores and paddles. Which wine will take home the Glitterball… and which will be sent packing?
