Strictly Come Dancing: Will This Be Karen Hardy’s Last Year?
Professional dancer, Karen Hardy may not be returning to Strictly Come Dancing next year after she yelled at her dance partner Gary Rhodes last week.
Karen and Gary left the show on Sunday night, but during their rehearsals last week Karen lost her temper with Gary as he forgot their dance routine time and time again.
Karen told The Sun: “We did rehearsals yet unfortunately Gary forgot everything. I lost it.”
Karen, who won the show with Mark Ramprakash in 2006, added: “I’m hanging my shoes up. It is a possibility this series is my last.”

Hi Karen, everyone is allowed one mistake! Yes, you shouted at Gary, but that doesn’t mean you will do it again. You were under pressure. You can learn from that experience if you get another partner like Gary. It’s better to have a repentant Karen in such an experience than a young, untried person who does not know the dangers!

My husband and I are so sad to learn that you are leaving the STD show. It will not be the same without you,we so enjoy watching you dance. Also we enjoy when you appear on Claudia’s It takes Two show, we always appreciate your comments also we think you are the best choreographer. If it is your final decision we wish you well in the future and thank you for the pleasure you have given us.

Please tell us this isn’t true! I have only just heard the rumour. If you do leave strictly, I won’t even bother to watch in future, because you are Strictly the Best

Please, please, please don’t leave Strictly Come Dancing! As a 50ish person with two right feet, you inspire me so much with your skill and vigour and I don’t think you can be replaced. You are bringing an appreciation of dance to many by doing this so stick with it
