Strictly‘s Karen Carney kicked off week four in style with her dance partner Carlos Gu on Saturday night.
The former footballer, 38, has been impressing the judges and the viewers at home alongside her professional dance partner Carlos.
Taking to the dance floor once again, the duo delivered a high-energy Quickstep, while Dave Arch led the live band.
The routine was fast-paced and full of intricate footwork, with Karen demonstrating her impressive skills throughout the performance.
However, just before the routine came to an end, Karen lost her footing on her dress during a spin, causing her to slip.
Despite the unexpected stumble, she quickly regained her composure, continuing the dance until the end.

When it came to the judges’ opinion, Oti Mabuse said: ‘Karen, you looked elegant, you looked on rhythm, you were fast, you had a bit of sass.
‘I love the attack. You look more settled now. I think the first time you did the ballroom dances you were a little bit, ‘oh, where am I?’
‘But now on the dancefloor, you have everything: shiny, bright smile, attack.
‘And a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ending with a Charleston. There was a slip on the dress, but I forgive that. That was grand.’
Shirley Ballas said: ‘Well, I can definitely say from when you did your Tango, this is an improvement.
‘So, first of all, I’m a sucker for a man in a tailsuit. The tailsuit, the dress, the grooming, the whole going back – it just looks fabulous.
‘Anything with energy, you are outstanding with. Your personality is A*.
‘There was a little bit of gapping, but some of the footwork here was much, much better than you did in your previous dance.
‘You did the bum spin at the end; funnily enough, that was one of the best bum spins I’ve seen.
‘Did you have a little slip at the end? Yes. Did you recuperate? Absolutely. Well done.’
