Strictly pro Aljaž Škorjanec has thanked celeb partner Sara Davies after her amazing turnaound in the ballroom in the space of just seven days.
Last weekend, Dragons Den star Sara was languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard after poorly received cha cha cha to Diana Ross' The Boss but she flipped the standings on their head on Saturday night, going from the foot of the table to the very top.
And that was thanks to a wonderful foxtrot to Dream A Little Dream by Mama Cass. Looking an absolute vison in white, County Durham born entrepreneur Sara, owner of Crafters' Companion, earned a rapturous applause from her fellow Strictly contestants who watched from the side of the studio and, more importantly from the judges, who were stunned by the change in Sara from last week.

Their reactions were reflected in their scores too, with Sara and Aljaz earning themselves 34 out of possible 40, enough to have them tied at the top by the end of the night.
And Aljaz was quick to praise hi new partner. Uploading a picture of Sara looking glam backstage to his Twitter page, the forme Strictly champion, who won with Abbey Clancy in 2013, wrote: "Thank you Sara," accompanied by a blue heart.
His many followers were quick to pass on their congratulations, with one commenting: "Sara, you looked so beautiful tonight. Your beaming smile said it all, your work ethic and determination is an example, and you did Aljaz so proud. Not a dry eye in the house!! In the words of Len… you’re my favourites"
A second responded: "So wonderful to watch. Strictly is transporting us to a very special place, just what we need at the moment.
"Thank you the wonderful Aljaz, Sara and everyone on Strictly," and another tweeted: "Very emosh watching you both tonight. Just stunning. Alijaz your smile melts me."
