BBC viewers have hailed the "best rumba seen on Strictly ever" as Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola took to the dancefloor on Strictly Come Dancing tonight (November 23).
The Miranda star danced a rumba to Chains by Tina Arena, performing second on Saturday's show, following Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał's tango.
Head judge Shirley Ballas who is often referred to as the "rumba Queen" praised the routine, saying it had "choreography that belonged in a competitive championship".
She also commended Sarah's "sensual awareness" before claiming it was the "best rumba of the season so far".
