Sarah Hadland has opened up about her Strictly Come Dancing partner Vito Coppola's one specific which makes her 'quite emotional' following a tragic family loss
It's Icons Week on Strictly Come Dancing and the contestants are gearing up to take part in the themed week for the first time in the BBC show's history. Each pair will dance to a track from an iconic artist, with picks including The Beatles, Queen, Madonna and Whitney Houston. Ahead of Saturday's live show, each celebrity and their professional partner has opened up about the people they consider to be icons.
"My Grandpa was a massive influence on me. He was an amazing man, and I think about him a lot. He died when I was about 18 but I still think about him all the time. I get quite emotional because often Vito talks to his grandparents and I kind of feel sad that mine aren’t alive anymore. I think he would love this," Sarah admitted.
Meanwhile, Vito, 31, sweetly revealed he sees some of his family members as icons. Reflecting on his family, he said: "My family. They are my icons because each of them has something different. My Mum is my icon because of her work ethic. I've learned that from her. My Father is my icon as he literally taught me about life.
