manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Sarah Hadland has revealed her plans to write a comedy role for Vito Coppola, but that's not all on her mind as she looks ahead to the end of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Miranda actress is currently competing in the BBC One dance contest with the 32-year-old professional, but when their time on the show comes to an end, she wants to continue their partnership and give him a glimpse into her world with a part in one of the projects she is writing.

She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I really want to give Vito his first comedy role in British television. That's a goal for me, so watch this space!" But the 53-year-old star hopes her time on Strictly doesn't run out any time soon, with weeks still to go until the end of Strictly's 2024 run.

She joked: "Once this series is finished, I'll probably keep turning up at Elstree Studios anyway.
