Strictly fans shocked as ‘unrecognisable’ 90s music legend makes surprise cameo on It Takes Two
STRICTLY fans were left shocked after a ‘unrecognisable’ 90s music legend made a surprise cameo on It Takes Two.
Viewers were left lost for words when singer Heather Small, 59, made an appearance on the BBC spin-off last night.
Fleur East was chatting with Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola on the show when she appeared on our screens.
Heather told the pair: “Well done on your amazing Argentinian Tango and that score!
“What have you done today? You’ve made us proud.
“I’m wishing you luck on the rest of your Strictly journey.”
Sarah and Vito were left lost for words as the camera panned back into the studio.
Sarah said: “Oh that’s so lovely. Heather Small!
“She’s amazing.
“That’s so lovely.”
The running joke on BBC show Miranda was that Sarah’s character held up a Heather Small face, and sung: “What have you done today to make you feel proud?”
Heather released her tune Proud in 2001.
One viewer commented on social media: “I didn’t recognise the woman on video for Sarah?
Another told them: “It was Heather Small – former Strictly contestant and singer of ‘(what have you done today to make you feel) proud’ – which Sarah used to sing with a Heather Small mask on in ‘Miranda’.”
They replied: “Thank you. I know who Heather Small is but so didn’t recognise her – wow!”
Another said on X: “Awwwww a Heather Small video for Sarah!! Love it!!”
“ItTakesTwo Heather Small featured only in a greeting wishing them well!,” a third said.
