Strictly Come Dancing fans have been buzzing with excitement after Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola’s stellar performance on the latest episode of the show. The duo wowed the judges and viewers alike with their couple’s choice routine to Padam Padam by Kylie Minogue, earning a near-perfect score of 39 points out of a possible 40.
While judge Craig Revel Horwood found Sarah’s performance a little too perfect and lacking in emotion at times, other judges such as Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas were full of praise for the pair, calling it their best dance so far. The routine even drew comparisons to a past performance by Morning Live presenter Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, with fans taking to social media to share their thoughts.
Twitter user @AngelosantoK noted the similarities between Sarah and Helen’s routines, while @tasyasmagna and @GElnekaveh also pointed out the parallels between the two performances. However, not everyone agreed, with @sarahlawson84 and @DebbieW502017 feeling that Helen and Gorka’s routine was in a league of its own.
The debate over who the better dancer is, Sarah or Vito, has divided fans, with some leaning towards Sarah’s performance and others favoring Helen and Gorka’s routine. It seems that both couples have left a lasting impression on viewers, each bringing their own unique flair to the dance floor.
As the competition heats up, it will be interesting to see how Sarah and Vito continue to impress the judges and fans with their dance skills. Whether they can surpass the legacy of Helen and Gorka remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – the excitement and anticipation for the next episode of Strictly Come Dancing is at an all-time high.
