Karen Hauer forced to take a break from Strictly and stop dancing over health woes

“He doesn’t care,” she joked, as her dog barked at the camera. 

Karen went on to admit that she had been having “trouble sleeping” as well as “stress and anxiety” since her injury. 

However, she is now on the mend and credited her new weighted blanket for giving her a good night’s sleep, comparing it to “a massive hug”. 

This year, Karen only made it to week four of Strictly Come Dancing with her celebrity partner Greg, whose spirited Samba to the Macarena was not enough to save them from the dreaded dance-off. 

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 7:05pm on BBC One.
