Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies has winked that her husband is reaping the benefits of her stint on Strictly Come Dancing thanks to her new and improved levels of stamina.
The 37-year-old businesswoman has been married to her 41-year-old business partner Simon for 14 years and they have known each other since she was 15-years-old.
On this year’s series of Strictly, Sara was paired with dance professional Aljaž Škorjanec on the BBC dance competition and they were booted out mid-way through the contest.
Sara says she hoped her body would be transformed by her time on the hit BBC show – and says her husband is “loving” her more athletic physique following months of dance training.

Opening up to Fabulous magazine, Sara said: “Simon is not a complimentary person. He’s the one who keeps my feet on the ground. While everyone else is telling me how awesome I am, he won’t overdo it.”
She was then asked if Simon was “enjoying the new increased stamina” – with the businesswoman quoted as replying: “Trust me… he’s loving life…”
While addressing the way her body has changed since she was unveiled as a contestant on Strictly back in August, Sara admitted she is disappointed she didn’t see a more dramatic transformation.

However, she hopes dancing for hours on end in training and taking to the ballroom to compete in front of cameras will have helped her get a health issue under control.
She said: “Long before Strictly, my doctor told me I needed to lose around 2st to get my BMI in a good place. I thought I would lose it with Strictly.
“At first I was gutted, as I was getting on the scales every week and I wasn’t losing anything. I’ve never worked so hard in my life, so it should have been dropping off, but I’ve definitely toned up.
“I’ve even had to buy new leggings. We were filming a video and I had to stop halfway to tell Aljaž that my trousers were falling down!”
She added: “I don’t know if my BMI has changed, but I feel great. I hate going to the gym, but I’ve just been prancing around feeling a million dollars with my trousers falling down.”
During her time on the show and dancing with 31-year-old Aljaž, Sara was astonished to discover Canadian music legend Shania Twain had become a fan of her dancing skills.

Shania shared a message to Sara and Aljaž when they appeared on Strictly companion show It Takes Two during their time on the series.
She said: “Hi Sara and Aljaž, great job dancing to You’re Still The One. It was beautiful! Good luck on the rest of the series and go kick some butt.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight on BBC One at 7:20pm.
