Karen Hauer is Strictly Come Dancing’s longest serving female professional dancer, having been part of the BBC show for a whopping eight years. This year, the dancer is partnered with comedian Chris Ramsey. They will perform the Samba to Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) by Backstreet Boys as they return to the dance floor on Saturday evening.
Having been on the show since 2012, Karen has become a household name on Strictly Come Dancing.
The dancer even met her now ex-husband Kevin Clifton on the show, and the two married in 2015.
However, it all came to an end last year and the couple split in March 2018.
Both Karen and Kevin have found new partners, with the latter being in a relationship with documentary star Stacey Dooley – whom he won the ballroom dancing competition with last year.

In August, Karen also confirmed she had found love again with Welsh opera singer David Webb.
In an interview with FUBAR Radio in September she opened up about her ex and his new flame.
She said: “I don’t really know anything about that.
”When we go in [to rehearsals] we’re literally going crazy with all the routines.
“But you know what he looks extremely happy, so I’m happy that he’s happy.”
The two professional dancers returned for another season of Strictly Come Dancing last month.
Asked whether it was awkward being back in the rehearsals studio with her ex, Karen replied: “Most people think that we’d be like, ‘Oh I don’t like it’, but no.
“Not at all. We laugh. There is no drama. I don’t like drama baby llama!

The Strictly professional also revealed she was proud of everything Kevin has managed to accomplish.
She said: ”I’m so proud of him and all the things he’s been doing lately.
“For us, it’s never been a problem and it never will be a problem. We’re really cool.”
Despite parting ways last year, Karen said she still loves working with Kevin during Strictly.
She added: ”We absolutely love working together. We’re dancing together.
“The nice thing is that we don’t have partners that we are dancing with all the time, we switch partners around, so we all get a feel for everybody else.”
