Karen Carney Leads Strictly After 31-Point Jive as Odds Shorten and Training Intensifies

The ex-England footballer saw her price cut after a 31-point jive.

Overview

  • Carney and pro partner Carlos Gu scored 31/40 for a Week 1 jive to Blondie’s One Way or Another, topping the leaderboard heading into week two.
  • On It Takes Two, Carney described ballroom frame and posture as a “real physical challenge” and said she is using a posture aid, with Gu noting her spine makes opening the frame harder.
  • The pair are set to perform a Tango to Dua Lipa’s Training Season on Saturday, October 4.
  • Ladbrokes said her odds of winning shortened from 16/1 to 5/1 after the debut, calling the move unusual after a single performance.
  • Coverage has resurfaced Carney’s childhood dance training, which she has said improved her agility and strength for football.
