The partners topped the leaderboard over the weekend with an impressive Charleston
Strictly Come Dancing’s Sarah Hadland and professional dance partner Vito Coppola opened Saturday’s Musicals Week special. They performed a Charleston to Popular from the Broadway show Wicked.
The pair did an incredible job and scored a huge score of 38 points out of a possible 40, with 9s from Craig and Motsi, and 10s from head judge Shirley, and Anton.
The dance partners have taken to Instagram to reflect on the weekend. In a video posted to both of their Instagram accounts, they said: “We want to say thank you so much. We are so happy we honestly cannot wait now to start the semi-finals.”

In the caption of the joint post Vito and Sarah said “we got emotional during and after the result show” because of all the support they had been given. The pair made a promise to push harder to show their gratitude and appreciation to supporters.
Fans of the BBC show flooded the comments with messages of support for last year’s Strictly winner and his actress partner. One fan left a heartfelt message: “We are so so proud of use! so happy use are through to semi finals! You’re doing amazing!
“Can’t wait for the two dances on Saturday! Thank you for always lighting up our day by making these videos! We love use so much! My winners.”
Another supporter said: “Love you guys, all my votes go to you every week. You are just incredible, so exciting to watch every week and the videos.”
Sarah and Vito are strong Glitterball contenders after finishing top spot at the leaderboard again. The departure of Gladiator Montell and her pro-partner Johannes at the weekend means the competition is getting tougher as it comes to a close. The semi-final will take place on Saturday, December 7.
