Strictly's Sara and Alijaz left starstruck after receiving video message from Shania Twain

Strictly Come Dancing 's Sara Davies and Aljaž Škorjanec were starstruck after being sent a video message from Shania Twain.

The Dragon's Den star and her professional dance partner appeared with host Rylan Clark on Strictly: It Takes Two on Friday night, as they discussed their upcoming dance for Halloween week and how they felt their performance had gone last weekend.

Sara and Aljaž danced the Rumba to You're Still The One on last week's show, scoring a cool 25 points for their effort.

But they were left in complete shock when Rylan revealed he had bagged them a video message from the singer herself.

Rylan introduced the special message by reminding the pair how he had pranked Ugo Monye and Oti Mabuse by pretending he had got them a video message from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

"I'm not going to do that to you guys because you made me such a beautiful birthday card Sara, you really did. So I thought I'd get you a little thank you, so over to Miss Shania Twain," he said, leaving both Sara and Aljaž incredibly shocked.

The pair were so shocked when Shania appeared on the screen, as she thanked the pair for dancing to her track.

In the message, she said: "Hi Sara and Aljaž, 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."

As the cameras flicked back to the studio, Aljaž shrieked: "Oh my god that's brilliant!"

Whilst Sara added: "You know when we go up to Claudia's room at the end of the show and I kept daring to think, what if they got a video message, what if they got a video message.

"But I thought, no it's Shania Twain, they were never going to do that. But there was that little bit of hope, but when you said that."

The pair were clearly overwhelmed by the video message, as they shared their excitement with Rylan.

Earlier today, Aljaž gushed over his "gorgeous" friend, praising Sara for being an amazing student.

Asked what Sara is like as a pupil, 31-year-old Aljaž replied: "She's not just a gorgeous lady inside out, but just an amazing student really. We've had such an amazing time in rehearsals every single day.

"The immense progress from week one, it's incredible really to even witness, never mind being there teaching you," Aljaž told Sara.
