Strictly star Sarah Hadland has revealed her 'unofficial coach' as she competes on the BBC dance competition. The actress is continuing to wow the judges as she takes to the ballroom floor each week.

Speaking to Closer Magazine, the Horrible Histories star opened up about her close friendship with Miranda Hart and how excited she was over her wedding news.

"I’m absolutely over the moon for her. When you have a dear friend and they find the love of their life… I’m just so happy," she said.

Sarah also touched on her Strictly journey so far with reigning champion Vito Coppola, admitting that it's "terrifying" but also "exciting."

"It makes you feel really alive, because you’re live on television doing something that you didn’t know six days earlier," she added.

The actor unveiled that Miranda Hart is inspiring her with choreography advice, which Vito supported: "I take the credit, but actually it’s Miranda choreographing and giving advice."

She then added that her best friend is her "unofficial coach", continuing: "Miranda and I usually watch [Strictly] together, but she’s enjoying it even more because I’m in it."

In similar news, Sarahis tipped to be the 'dark horse' on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, with bookies anticipating that she will even make it all the way to the Grand Final.

Analysing the latest odds, Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius said: “Sarah Hadland is looking to be the dark horse of this year’s competition.

"When betting markets originally opened, Sarah was priced at 20/1 to win, however, in recent weeks we have seen an influx of bets placed backing Sarah to win resulting in her odds being boosted to a more competitive 12/1, and we only expect these odds to shorten in Sarah’s favour as she continues to grow and wow the fans at home every week.

"While it’s still early days in the competition, Betfred are tipping Sarah at 4/5 to be a finalist in this year's series!"

Strictly Come Dancing resumes on Saturday on BBC One at 6:30pm.
