Last week the show’s annual live tour kicked off, but a few days before Vito announced he would be sitting some of it out due to injury. ‘I’m battling some lower back pain at the moment. I can walk and move but going and doing full-on dancing with lifting and sharp twists…it’s best at the moment to have a little rest,’ he shared on This Morning.
