Sarah, did you always want to have Vito as your partner?
Sarah That’s an understatement! The contestants have a chemistry meeting, where the dancers teach you a few steps. The minute I started dancing with Vito, I thought, “If it’s not him, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

Did you feel the same, Vito?
Vito Yes. Sometimes people say to me, “Vito, you’re too much.”
Sarah I get told the same thing a lot: “Calm it down.”
Vito But now we are too much, and we love it. You have to find the right way to channel all this energy. I don’t plan anything, but in the end, somehow, we will do it.
What else do you have in common?
Vito We both love animals.
Sarah My cat Percy, a ginger tabby who is not particularly svelte, is going to wear a version of our costume every week. Watch out on social media! Vito and I both love food as well.
Vito We have the ingredients and now our job is to put them together and make a dish… a dance.

What dish would you be?
Sarah Are we thinking dessert? Are we thinking tiramisu?
Vito We are definitely tiramisu. Do you know why? The word “tiramisu” in Italian means “pick me up”. We are Team Tiramisu!
