A favourite on Strictly Come Dancing could be heading for the dance-off.

Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, who wowed with their Couple's Choice in Blackpool, are set to return next week after impressing with their routine. The duo appeared on It Takes Two, where they were asked about their experience so far.

However, host Fleur East had a shocking revelation regarding their upcoming performance. The pair will perform a Rumba to Tina Arena's Chains.

When asked about her feelings towards the upcoming performance, Sarah confessed she was finding it challenging due to the slow pace of the Rumba. She said: "You can't do that, there's not a place for that. It's very slow, which I'm not great at."

Vito chimed in, adding: "We just have to channel all this energy you want to put in the running or jumping and channel it. Slow is going to be the keyword this week."

Fleur then dropped a bombshell, drawing parallels between their situation and her own past experience on the show, reports the Mirror. Fleur made it all the way to the final after being partnered with Vito.

"Because Vito, you and I did our Couple's Choice in Blackpool. The following week, we did a Rumba - and then we ended up in the bottom two. So how much are you hoping history doesn't repeat itself?" she asked.

Sarah and Vito couldn't help but laugh at the comment, with Sarah jokingly saying: "Let's start the week positively. Let's be positive," while Vito chimed in: "If we do get into the bottom two, it will be part of the story and it will mean we get to dance the Rumba twice."

Despite the situation, Sarah managed to stay optimistic, telling Fleur: "But you made it all the way to the final. So if I follow your trajectory, there's hope," a sentiment that Vito agreed with, leading to more laughter among the trio.

During her performance on Saturday, Sarah became emotional as she expressed how much being on Strictly meant to her.

She declared: "Other people aren't telling me what I can and can't do. I am. I would say to any woman out there if you think you can't do something you can always push yourself. You set your own limits because I've discovered something. These are happy tears. I didn't expect to get this from a dancing competition. It came at just the right time in my life when I didn't know this is what I needed."

*Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weekdays at 6.30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
