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!
