This year, BBC viewers have seen Strictly Come Dancing pro Carlos Gu partnered with former professional footballer Karen Carney.
This week, Strictly Come Dancing professional Carlos Gu paused to heap praise on his celebrity partner from the BBC programme, Karen Carney.
On Saturday evening, the pair delivered a Cha-Cha-Cha for Movie Week and received a score of 25 for their performance, landing them in joint 10th position on the leaderboard alongside Vicky Pattison.
Nevertheless, one notable absence from the weekend’s show was Stefan Dennis, who failed to take to the floor due to illness. Though he has subsequently released a joint announcement with Dianne Buswell regarding his comeback.
Following Ross King’s recent departure from the contest, it appears numerous professionals are taking time to consider their celebrity partner’s journey on the programme, Carlos included.

Posting a collection of photographs on social media documenting their competition experience thus far, Carlos expressed nothing but admiration when discussing his celebrity partner, reports Wales Online.In his extensive caption, he wrote: “Can’t believe it’s been just 3 weeks, what a wild ride it’s been!”
“From the unexpected Week 1 Jive, to our first-ever Ballroom Tango (with limited Spanish movement! ) in Week 2, and then last week’s Miss Congeniality transformation for the Cha Cha Cha, every moment has been incredible.
“When I first met Karen, I honestly didn’t think of her as a dancer. But I knew she’d bring her amazing athletic strength and determination into this journey.”
The Strictly professional revealed to his followers that Karen has astounded him daily and has demonstrated tremendous development since the beginning.
Confessing he’s ‘blown away’, Carlos continued to express his admiration for the athlete, saying: “She may not be a dancer, but what I admire most is how she throws herself into every routine with full heart and joy.
“I absolutely adore her, and I hope she inspires every kid out there to believe in themselves – to try new things, take risks, and never be afraid to fail. Because even if you don’t win, you’ll always find joy along the way.”
It didn’t take long for people to respond to the heartfelt post, with many expressing their support for Carlos and Karen, and one person being moved by his kind words.
One individual commented, “This post nearly had me in tears. Such beautiful words.”
Another penned: “LOVE THIS. Your partnership really shines through!!!!”
A follower added, “She inspired our little girls to take up football. Couldn’t ask for a better role model. Incredible athlete, person, and now dancer.”
Another wrote: “The commitment, positive attitude, and work ethic @kazcarney has shown is outstanding. Come on, lady, you can get to the final.”
While another shared: “She doesn’t realise how great she is and how many lives she’s touched, without her I’d never be working in football. A properly special person. Love watching you both every week.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday (October 18) on BBC One from 6:30pm.
