Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola are ready and raring for the Strictly Come Dancing final after weeks of fabulous numbers and the Italian pro couldn't be prouder of his celebrity partner.
In particular, Vito, 32, has shared his pride in the Miranda star's ability to juggle dance rehearsals and live performances with her role as a single mother.

Vito continued: "I've had the pleasure to meet you and you give me the trust to open the door and let me come to your heart and it's okay sometimes to be a bit fragile. You deal with so many things, you are a single mum, and you are a woman and you're independent and you work so hard.

Sarah's role as a mother
The Job Lot star has opted to keep her young daughter out of the public eye. The actress did however open up to HELLO! about how she has balanced it all during her time on the BBC ballroom show in a red carpet interview at The Pride of Britain Awards in October.

Earlier in the series, the Horrible Histories actress paid tribute to her daughter with a "special" foxtrot to Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather'.

"[This dance] it's about my family and me and my little one," Sarah said. "This song is special to us because we sing it together. It would be really lovely to show how I feel in the dance."
