Strictly Come Dancing 2021’s Sara Davies was left in awe after being delivered a message of support from the one and only Shania Twain, after performing a Rumba to her song last weekend.
Sara and partner Aljaz Skorjanec have become a couple to watch this series and their dancing has given everyone something to smile about.
Last Saturday, the duo continued to warm hearts after they performed the notoriously difficult Rumba to Shania’s track You’re Still the One, netting them a score of 25.
Things got even better for the pair during an appearing on It Takes Two, when host Rylan Clark-Neal revealed he had a surprise for them – a little message from the icon herself.
In the video message played on the show, Shania said: ‘Sara and Aljaz great job dancing to You’re Still The One – it was beautiful.
‘Good luck on the rest of the series and go kick some butt.’

They were thrilled, with Aljaz saying: ‘That’s amazing, come on… brilliant.’
Sara added that she had an inkling the show might have contacted the hit singer, telling Rylan: ‘You’ve made my night!’
Moving swiftly on after the excitement, the host declared: ‘Shania’s now dead to us, because it’s a new week… we will send you a copy.’

Rylan went on to ask the pair about their upcoming Couple’s Choice routine, which is Aljaz’s first-ever on the show, to Queen of the Night by Whitney Houston.
Reflecting on the week so far, Sara said: ‘I’ve really connected this week because it’s been about channelling that inner power, that inner strength.’
‘You’re going to watch it and be like, that is not the Sara we know! My husband is coming down to watch and the kids came to watch the dance on Thursday.’
Aljaz weighed in: ‘The most solid three runs we got on the floor up until now was today. I was like, yes! Let’s do it again. So we’re doing it again tomorrow.’

Sara also teased the ‘chainography’ of the routine, telling fans: ‘You’re going to have to watch to know what that is.
‘Thankfully, the kids didn’t really understand what was going on there but thought it was really great, moving around wrapping Aljaz in chains!’
Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight at 7.10pm on BBC One.
