Strictly fans praise Sarah Hadland after "beautiful" dance for daughter
Sarah's dance this week was a Foxtrot to Billie Eilish's Birds of a Feather.
This week on Strictly Come Dancing saw Sarah Hadland and her partner Vito Coppola performing the Foxtrot to Billie Eilish's Birds of a Feather, a song which she emotionally revealed had a special meaning for her.
Ahead of the dance, Sarah revealed the song is one she sings with her young daughter, and told Vito it would be "lovely to show how I feel in the dance".
After their performance, Shirley Ballas said she could "definitely feel the emotion" in the routine, while Anton Du Beke said she dances "beautifully".
While there were also some technical criticisms from the judges, fans were quick to take to Twitter, which has been rebranded as X, to praise Sarah's emotional performance.
One fan said Sarah's dance was "so so beautiful", while another said they "nearly audibly aww'd" at some of her spins during the routine.

Another fan said: "I’m just so happy and emotional seeing Sarah Hadland thrive on #strictly. I grew up absolutely loving Miranda and her as Stevie and now as a grown woman seeing her have this resurgence of appreciation, & living her best life, I’m just very in my feels."
Another added: "Sarah Hadland’s growth in the competition is so gorgeous to witness. Her Foxtrot was quite simply divine and I could tell that she did that dance with so much passion, heart and care."
The dance scored a six from Craig Revel Horwood, a seven from Motsi Mabuse, a seven from Shirley and a seven from Anton, giving Sarah and Vito a total of 27.
