Picture of the Day: Queen of the dance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is difficult to think of a British equivalent to Brazilian comedian Sabrina Sato, seen here dancing with the Grupo Especial Gavioes da Fiel samba group at the Anhmebi sambodromo in Sao Paulo.
Ms Sato has appeared on the Brazilian version of Big Brother. She is a member of a comedy troupe called Panico, in whose radio show she made fun of her own intellectual limitations and her country accent. In the television version of the show, she specialised in stunts such as belching the lyrics to songs and eating bugs.
So far, so I'm A Celebrity. But while we may have our fair share of starry reality shows here in the UK, climbing into a traditional samba queen costume and getting into the carnival groove takes Strictly Come Dancing to a new level.
A quick twirl round the floor in the expertly guiding arms of a ballroom-dancing professional looks positively sedate compared to getting your kit off and boogying on down with a retinue of samba drummers. Strictly contestants have been known to complain about the perils of streaky fake tan. How on earth would they handle all that Brazilian waxing?
Ay caramba!
