Karen Carney ‘gutted’ after dance on Strictly
On Strictly’s live show, Karen and pro partner Carlos Gu performed a Rumba to Celine Dion’s Think Twice. Afterward, the dancing experts on the panel had mixed feedback for Karen.
Shirley Ballas pointed out that “it went a bit wobbly” in the middle, but praised Karen as she “executed” some of the hardest rumba walks in the dance. Anton also noted that Karen got “tense” meanwhile Craig said her balance was “off” and the dance “lacked fluidity”.
Sorry, I’m a bit gutted
After receiving their feedback, Karen and Carlos headed up to speak to Claudia Winkleman. However, Karen was clearly upset by the judges’ comments.
“Don’t make that face,” Claudia said, before telling Karen that the pros upstairs called Karen’s legs “perfect” when she danced.
“Thank you, as they mentioned down there, there’s about eight different walks,” Karen said. She then added: “Sorry, I’m a bit gutted.”
