This led the BBC One show pairing to end up joint of of the leaderboard on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, alongside Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec who wowed with a Paso Doble.
Yet fans have called out Sarah's apparent error - despite her top score - after the results of week nine were revealed in a Strictly spoiler.
They were left irked at the fact that their routine started showing them sat at a table on chairs, before they hopped onto the table to showcase their fancy footwork.
