On Wednesday, he made an appearance on ITV’s This Morning to whip up a pasta alla norma for hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.

The dancer explained that the dish is served by his mother every Sunday.
He said: “Sunday is the day we make pasta fresh.”
When asked if he has a big family, Vito said his mum is one of five kids and his father is one of four.
He added: “My grandmother is the first of 12! But also, wait for this, the father of my grandmother he is the 21st son of 23 kids all from the same mum.”
Ben and Cat looked stunned as he exclaimed: “Twenty three children?!”
Cat said: “One woman had 23 babies?” to which Vito said: “Yeah!”
Cat quipped: “I need a lie down.”
Please make Vito a regular. He brings such joy and innocent passion.
Vito joked he has “12 Vitos” in his family, adding: “Very fantastic with names!”
Vito then moved onto his dish. Viewers watching were divided over Vito’s appearance, however.
One person admitted on X: “Vito is a bit too much.”
