Strictly Come Dancing and Miranda star Sarah Hadland was 'dragged' along Blackpool beach with her 'face in the sand' during 'traumatic' donkey ride
The Strictly Come Dancing stars are preparing to perform at the world famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom - or the “Wembley of ballroom dancing”, as they have dubbed it this year.
Strictly Come Dancing : Blackpool Special airs at 6.45pm on Saturday on BBC One and iPlayer, with the results show on Sunday at 7.20pm on the same channel. “We used to go to Blackpool a lot when I was a kid,” says Chris, 47. “I’ve got loads of memories of the seafront, the beach and the fairgrounds. I’d never go on rollercoasters when I was that age. I think because I could see them, they terrified me, whereas now I can’t see them, I’m not bothered so I’ll go on anything.
Sarah says partner Vito Coppola, 32, gets “misty-eyed” at the mere mention of Blackpool, and he coos that he feels like he is performing “in the centre of the world” when he is there. “Every time I’m in Blackpool, I can feel the energy of years and years of dancing and all the big legends that have danced there,” he says.
The reality star, 37, paid tribute to his “soul mate” nan during last week’s performance, and now recalls of his childhood: “We didn’t have much money when I was younger, so we always went to the seaside. I really enjoyed the arcades and the lovely vibe there.” Partner Jowita Przystat, 30, has been impressed by the “massive portion of doughnuts” the dancers bought at the Pleasure Beach. The pair will cha cha to I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred.
