\"Karen<\/p>\n

From an elegant Waltz earlier on to a high-impact Salsa now, Karen is proving that she’s an all-round fantastic dancer. <\/p>\n

The sports broadcaster and former England star is dazzling on the dancefloor.<\/p>\n

Her performance with Carlos is colourful,
\nfun, and the couple genuinely look like they are having a blast. <\/p>\n

They’ve executed a series of lifts and spins really well – as far as we in the newsroom are concerned. And if the audience members’ cheers are anything to go by they’ve done super well. But what do they judges have to say? <\/p>\n

“I wish I could jump and join you,” says Motsi. The judge tells the couple their dance feels like it was performed at the final – it was that good. <\/p>\n

“You’ve got grit, determination,” Shirley tells Karen. “I loved it”. Craig joins in, describing their performance as “out of this world”<\/p>\n

Here are the judges\u2019 marks:<\/p>\n

Craig: 9<\/p>\n

Motsi: 10<\/p>\n

Shirley: 10<\/p>\n

Anton: 10<\/p>\n
