Strictly Come Dancing viewers were united in their reactions as they spotted a familiar face in the audience during week four’s live show.

Dragons’ Den manager Sara Davies was seen cheering on EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick and looked sensational in a vibrant scarlet strapless dress, sitting alongside comedian Alan Carr. Moments earlier, Alan was busy presenting Strictly’s terms and conditions while promoting his BBC quiz show.

Having danced with professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec in series 19, it was clear that Sara was excited to be back supporting her celebrity friends from the sidelines.

However, it was Sara’s transformed appearance that caught the attention of viewers on social media, with one fan commenting: “Sara in the audience looks amazing – she’s lost so much weight.”

Another praised, saying: “Off topic, but Sara Davies looks absolutely stunning in the audience.”, reports the Mirror.

Another fan expressed nostalgia, commenting: “I miss her – she looks like she’s having so much fun.”

Sara recently achieved an impressive four stone weight loss, now sporting a size 12 after going through a pivotal moment.

After a doctor’s warning about the risk of pre-diabetes and the need to buy larger-sized clothes, Sara decided it was time to change her lifestyle. She has completely eliminated sugar from her diet, stating: “I stopped eating chocolate and cakes, but I also reduced carbs and ate more vegetables than fruit.”

‌

“As miserable as it is, I also stopped drinking alcohol to cut down on sugar. During filming, we went out to dinner like a bunch of Dragons, and Peter Jones has really good, expensive taste in wine, but I feel a lot better for having cut that out. .”

“I’m not saying I’ll never drink again – I had a burger and gin and tonic when I was 40 – but I’ve really enjoyed cutting back.”

She describes kombucha as “life-changing” and admits that although it was “dodgy looking,” it made her feel like she was still drinking wine, just without the calories. Plus, she sets aside time on Sunday nights to prepare salads and reveals that she learned a lot from her vegan co-star Deborah Meaden.
