BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Sarah Hadland shares 'juggle' of motherhood and says 'just have to'

Strictly Come Dancing star Sarah Hadland has opened up about balancing her time on the show with motherhood, admitting 'it's quite a juggle'. The BBC Miranda actress, 53, has been impressing viewers and the judges alike on the dancefloor with her dance partner Vito Coppola.

The duo put over seven hours of practice in daily to perfect their performances, with Sarah sharing how it impacts on her home life as she spoke to HELLO! at the Pride of Britain Awards. She said: "It's quite a juggle but you manage to do it like all working mums.

"I think you just have to put your 'mum hat' on and your 'work hat' on and I feel so lucky to be doing this show." Sarah keeps her daughter out of the public eye but did reveal a passion that her and her daughter share as she dedicated her week four dance of the foxtrot to her daughter, which was set to Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather'.

She said on the BBC show: "[This dance] it's about my family and me and my little one. This song is special to us because we sing it together. It would be really lovely to show how I feel in the dance."

Sarah also told HELLO! that Strictly Come Dancing had changed her. She added: "When you get to a certain point in your life, you think you know what I'm capable of. I know what I can do and what I can't do and Vito has definitely made me challenge that and made me realise that, actually, I shouldn't say what I can and can't do before I start.

"]That's been a really amazing thing to discover about myself - that I was setting a limit on myself and you can't do that because you don't know what you can achieve until you keep trying."
