Sarah Hadland has been gushing over her dancing partner following their stellar performance last week. The actress, best known for her role of Stevie Sutton in BBC's comedy hit Miranda, has been paired with Vito Coppola - and the two have hit it off like a house on fire. Last week, they beat their debut performance and landed an impressive 32 points - ranking second in the league table, trumped only by Love Island's Tasha Ghouri .

Each judge scored Sarah's Paso Doble to F reed From Desire by Gala Rizzatto a commendable eight out of 10, meaning there is still room for improvement for their upcoming V iennese Waltz to 'Hedwig's Theme' from the Harry Potter films. But first, it looks like the stars are having a much-needed tea break. Taking to Instagram , Sarah, 53, revealed that she is trying to convert Vita from a coffee fein to a tea lover, and that he had bought her a gift 'from the heart'.



Showing her 71,000 followers a mug with black cats on, the actress joked: "Vito has bought me a Witches Cup...

Not a euphemism." When Vito quizzed Sarah on what a euphemism was, she laughed , fighting back the tears, and assured him it 'didn't matter' before busting out into an impromptu tune over her new mug. "Vito's bought me and witches cup and it's come from.

...

" she sang, waiting for Vito to join in. But when the professional dancer, aged 32, replied verbatim that he'd picked up the mug from Asda , Sarah couldn't contain her laughter. "Oh my God Vito, I love you," she said.

"I thought it was from your heart. But from Asda is fine." Vito joined in on the joke, adding that the gift naturally came from 'his heart'.
