BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans fear for Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola after tears in 'criminal' move

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were worried about Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola following their heartfelt comeback to the dance floor. They were the second duo to take the stage when the popular show aired again on Saturday night (October 12).

Sarah had another touching evening as she took to the stage once more. After honoring the late Dame Maggie Smith with her Harry Potter-themed performance last weekend, she chose to sing a song that held personal significance for her.

Sarah and Vito performed a Foxtrot to "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish. Before they took the stage, Sarah became emotional and teared up while explaining what the song meant to her.

"What does this song mean to you?" Italian dancer Vito inquired. Actress Sarah replied, "It's about my family and my child," while struggling to hold back her tears.

"This song means a lot to us since we sing it together, and we created a small drawing of us as birds. It would be wonderful to express my emotions through the dance." Vito remarked, "I assure you that I will put in my utmost effort to ensure the dance reflects your relationship."

As the duo stepped onto the dance floor, fans of Strictly expressed their worries. @justnaomiyeh remarked, “I can’t believe Vito and Sarah are in the dreaded time slot #strictly.” @notthatpoppy added, “Why did they place Sarah and Vito in such a tough position? #Strictly.” @@liama123_ shared, “SARAH & VITO IN THE TOUGH SPOT?? #strictly."

@agathapologist_ tweeted: "It’s a complete injustice to put Sarah in the death slot #Strictly." @BRATTYBARBl commented: "Dame Sarah Hadland performed in the toughest time slot and received her lowest score #Strictly." @molly_ynwa wrote: "Sarah ended up in the death slot and didn’t get the scores she deserves; she truly deserves better #Strictly."

However, @BosettKay declared: "#Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing Sarah and Vito will overcome the difficult time slot...." Meanwhile, @Katie91_ commented: "Sarah will triumph over the tough time slot; she’s the people's princess #strictly."
