Vito Coppola has emotionally shared a fresh message alongside Sarah Hadland after their Strictly Come Dancing future was confirmed. The pair were seen in action over the weekend as the BBC One dance show relocated to Blackpool for one weekend only.
Week nine of Strictly's 2024 series was broadcast live from Blackpool's Tower Ballroom in Strictly's annual special and it ended up being a great night for actress Sarah and professional dancer Vito, who had earlier energetically made their way onto the sprung ballroom floor, on Saturday (November 16).
They finished joint top of the leaderboard with a near-perfect score of 39 points out of a possible 40 after their Fosse-inspired couple’s choice routine to Padam Padam by Kylie Minogue.
