Strictly Come Dancing: Sarah Hadland emotional over song

A Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer made a heartfelt promise to his partner as she became emotional during rehearsals.

The fourth week of the renowned BBC dance competition kicked off this week, with the remaining celebrities showcasing their newly acquired skills on the dance floor.

Among the first to perform were actress Sarah Hadland and her dance partner Vito Coppola, who have consistently impressed, securing second place on the leaderboard each week.

Following a mesmerising performance to Hedwig's Song from Harry Potter for Movie Week, Sarah returned to the stage, this time performing a Foxtrot to Billie Eilish's Birds Of A Feather.

It wasn't long into the VT that Sarah began to feel emotional about the song, reports the Mirror.

When Vito asked: “What does this song mean to you?”, she replied: “It’s about my family. And it’s about me and my little one.”

The actress then began to laugh in embarassment as she started tearing up.

Vito assured her it was "fine" as she added: “And this song is special to us, because we sing it together and we also have a little picture of both of us as birds that we made together.”

She presented him with a hand drawn picture of two birds which he labelled as "cute".

“And there’s a little heart in the middle", the celebrity pointed out.

Sarah continued: "It would be really lovely to show how I feel in the dance.”

It was at this point that Vito made a sweet declaration: “I promise you I will do my best in order to make sure the dance will represent your relationship.”

When it came to their performance on the night, Shirley Ballas said her spinning was "flawless" but Craig Revel Horwood said that she was "trying too hard".

Nevertheless, he still called Sarah a "clean, clean dancer" and said her performance was "spectacular".
