In a sneak peek behind the scenes in rehearsals, Sarah is seen breaking down in tears as Leon tries to console her.
This is the first time Sarah has done the trampoline so is understandably nervous about attempting tumbles and somersaults.
An insiders told the MailOnline: 'Sarah is having lots of aches and pains and the nerves have been a challenge. She really wants to do well and not end up having to do vault.
'Everyone is hoping she won't come a cropper on live television.'
So far Sarah and Leon have received scores of 25.0 for the Aerial Hoop in Week 1 and 28.5 for the Floor in Week 2.
Sarah is among half the celebrity contestants who will be performing trampoline on Saturday, while the other half will be doing rhythmic floor routines with props.

The show's producers will be using a new innovative camera style called 'live slow motion' to capture the contestants' moves in real-time for the views.
At the end of the show, the two celebrities with the lowest scores will have to go head-to-head in the vault, with one leaving the competition for good.
