Sara Davies feels "very special" to have been Aljaž Škorjanec's last 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner.
Sara Davies took part in Strictly Come Dancing last year
The 'Dragon's Den' star was partnered by the 32-year-old professional on the 2021 series of the Latin and ballroom contest and after he recently announced he won't be returning to the BBC show, the 38-year-old entrepreneur admitted their time together feels even more special.
Asked if it felt special being Alijaz's final partner, she said: "I most definitely felt very special for that. And actually, I spent the day with him and Janette [recently] and I'd been to watch their show twice over the weekend and it was just lovely watching him and even though there were thousands of people there in that auditorium, he made sure he picked me out in the opening dance.
"And every chance he'd blow a little kiss! I felt like he was dancing the whole show just for us, it was magical."
Sara admitted she was aware Alijaz was planning to leave before he made his announcement.
She told HelloMagazine.com: "I knew about it. It's something he's premeditated for a long time and it is part of his life plan."
Meanwhile, Sara - who has sons Oliver, eight, and Charlie, five, with husband Simon - has teamed up with Hasbro to launch 'My First Monopoly' and she thinks it's the perfect game for families to play together because there is so much it can teach young children.
She said: "I think as a parent it weighs heavy the responsibility of the fact that you've got to teach your children and bring them up in the right way. But then it's quite often difficult to have the tools to do that.
" And often I'm just preaching about things and it's not meaningful to them. Whereas they don't want me to preach at them about money and organising money and how the way the world works. I would never think to be talking to them about buying properties and trading and how it works at this age because it just feels too advanced and grown up. But 'My First Monopoly' makes it really accessible.
"And it's not just the money, it's the fair play. Because it's one of those games where you can't cheat, and it's been really interesting watching the dynamic between them when they've played. We used to do this when we were kids and we would play against my Mum and Dad, as soon as Dad was looking like he was winning, we'd all gang up on him a little bit! And so it's been really lovely seeing that competitive angst but then the collaboration side of it as well."
'My First MONOPOLY' is available to purchase from Smyths Toys for £21.99.
