Having started under yet another cloud of controversy, this year’s Strictly Come Dancing has been a bumpy ride. We’ve seen it all, from two stars being forced to quit before they’d even begun, to another two leaving mid-series due to injury. And, of course, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly blindsiding fans with their exit announcement.
Somehow though, we’ve made it this far and the Glitterball trophy is now in touching distance. Saturday’s semi-final saw the four remaining couples fight for their place in the competition and, for me, there’s only one winner: Karen Carney.
