Sara Davies has reunited with her Strictly Come Dancing co-star Adam Peaty, after the pair struck up a close friendship on the show last year.
Bot h Sara and Olympic champion swimmer Adam were big fan favourites on the BBC programme 12 months ago, which made Adam's earlier than expected exit, alongside pro dancing partner Katya Jones, all the more of a shock, after he had been singled out by bookies as a potential finalist in the early stages of the competition.
And, as for Sara, no-one was more surprised than the Dragon's Den star herself that she topped the leaderboard on two separate occasions, as she impressed both viewers and judges with her dances alongside pro Aljaž Škorjanec, who has since quit Strictly. Sara and Aljaz went onto travel the length and breadth of the country on the Strictly live tour, with them both ecstatic as they won opening night in Newcastle.

There's been little time to rest for both Sara and Adam since their time on Strictly, with Sara filming a new series of Dragon's Den and broadcasting to viewers across the world on her crafting channel, while Adam was in the pool recently to win gold at the Commonwealth Games.
But the pair did have time to meet up after months apart for a very active reunion, going on a hike, which Sara posted about on her social media channels. Sharing a picture of her and Adam mid-walk, she wrote: "am a firm believer in the theory that you’re a product of the people you surround yourself with, and you need to spend time with people who you can learn from and who inspire you to be the best version of yourself - but also people who get the same from you in return - I’ve heard the kids refer to it as ‘energy exchange’."
Opening up on her close bond with swimmer Adam, she continued: "My friendship with Adam was one of the strongest bonds I formed during my strictly experience last year, a friendship founded on shared values and mutual respect. We don’t get to spend a lot of time together (we’re both ridiculously busy people) but it’s not about the volume of time, it’s about making it count, and I’ve had an amazing 3 hours this morning and come away feeling full of energy and self-belief."
She ended the post with a message for her many followers, adding: "Make sure you have good people in your life, and make time to spend with them (even if it’s a tiny bit of time once in a blue moon) - because in doing so you’re not just investing in them but in yourself too."
