Post-Strictly, Sarah Hadland has spoke out on her relationship with pro partner Vito Coppola. In an exclusive chat with Mirror, she passionately recounted the challenges and breakthroughs with Vito, admitting: "It's one thing to have other people say, 'Are you really going to do that? Aren't you a bit old?' What's worse is you going, 'Yeah, I am'. It's like, no! Vito wouldn't accept that from me. It did cause friction at times because I'd be like, 'I can't do it', and I'd get annoyed when he'd tell me to try it anyway... and then I'd do it."
