EXCLUSIVE: Sarah Hadland and her Strictly partner Vito Coppola talk high energy, famous pals - and why the show can sometimes feel like a 'speeding train' you want to get off

It’s simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying.” Mum-of-one Sarah, 53, likens it to being on a “speeding train”, saying: “Sometimes, you want to get off, have a cup of tea and a lie-down, but you wouldn’t dream of it, because it’s so thrilling you don’t want it to end. They’ve offered up some stunning dances to date, but for Sarah, the stand-out moment for her so far was their moving, Harry Potter-styled Viennese waltz, a tribute to the late Dame Maggie Smith which had viewers in tears. As for the fellow celebrities this year, Sarah admits that blind comedian Chris McCausland is the “funniest and loveliest man,” while Dr Punam was her “best mate on the show.” She also gets on like a house on fire with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, despite initially thinking they might not have much in common.
