Vito Coppola's pride in 'single mum' dance partner Sarah Hadland
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.
Showing his appreciation of his partner in the Clauditorium last Saturday night, the professional dancer told Sarah: "With you, it's been such a special journey so far because you know everyone sees Sarah and she's always playing around, bringing energy and love and a smile to everyone but she's also very fragile, if I can say, and she looks very confident but there are lots of sides of her that I would really like to bring out."
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.
"Don't worry you can let it go and for me, it was such a pleasure to take care of you and I would like everyone to understand you are one of the strongest women I've ever met in my life and it would be a pleasure for me to dance with you in the final on that dance floor," the ballroom dancer concluded.

"It's quite a juggle but you manage to do it like all working mums," the mother of one revealed. "I think you just have to put your 'mum hat' on and your 'work hat' on and I feel so lucky to be doing this show."
