The former Lioness shared the message behind her next dance on the BBC series
Strictly Come Dancing’s Karen Carney revealed why her and Carlos Gu’s new routine is “very personal” to them.
The former Lioness has won over viewers hearts as she’s been participating in Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Carlos Gu.
On Saturday (November 22), six couples took to the dancefloor in Blackpool as they competed for a chance to stay in the BBC competition.
All six were relived when there was no elimination after La Voix sadly left the competition due to an injury.
The 45-year-old was initially given a bye to the next round of the competition after the injury was announced last week, but will now go no further on the BBC dancing programme.
A Strictly spokesperson said: “In line with the rules of Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix and Aljaž will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again.
“We wish La Voix the very best for a speedy recovery.”
On the big night, Karen and Carlos taking on the Paso Doble to O Fortuna by Carmina Burana where they received an impressive 39 out of 40 points for their routine.
Next Saturday, the pair will be performing a Couples Choice to Born This Way by Lady Gaga.
Appearing on Strictly: It Takes Two on Tuesday (November 25), Karen and Carlos sat down with Fleur East as they teased their new routine.
When asked what the song means to her, Karen replied: “The reason why we actually picked it was the first line, is ‘my mama told me when I was young, we are all born superstars’.
“I told my mum when I was 11 that I was going to play for England. She said to me, there’s so many barriers out there, all she said was if you want something, work hard for it and go after it.
“Carlos absolutely adores his mum, so it’s very personal for both of us, for our mums.”
“It’s encouraged Carlos to be the amazing dancer he is, and my mum has pushed me to become a footballer. I believe that I was born to play football and he was born to dance.”
