Strictly’s Karen Clifton left red-faced after embarrassing incident on It Takes Two

Yet more drama for Karen...

She’s been at the centre of numerous rumours surrounding her marriage to fellow Strictly professional, Kevin Clifton, recently.

But now Karen his hitting headlines for a totally different reason…

While appearing on Strictly spin off show, It Takes Two, she faced yet more drama when she suffered a mortifying wardrobe malfunction.

Karen and fellow dancer Katya Jones went head to head in the light-hearted ‘Strictly Pro Challenge’ where the professional dancers have to pit their dancing abilities against each other in order to win.

This series sees the dancers battling it out to do as many Charleston swivels as they can in 30 seconds.

But as Karen celebrated her success at beating Katya to the top of the leaderboard, her over zealous jumping around left her red-faced, exclaiming: “Oh, my bra is down!”

The much talked-about dancer was wearing a gold high-waisted skirt from Mango, teamed with an off the shoulder, long sleeved black top.

It was the strapless bra that she had on that lead to the cringe-inducing moment – leaving her to readjust herself on camera before the situation got any worse.

Katya and Karen played up to the moment, jumping into each others arms as the results from the challenge were announced by It Takes Two host Zoe Ball.

This light-hearted drama comes in stark contrast to the recent claims that ex footballer Jamie Redknapp called Karen after worries that their spouses were getting too close.

Jamie, who is now separated from his wife, Louise, was partnered with Karen’s husband, Kevin in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Karen is reported too have then told Jamie to keep Louise away from her husband.

A friend reportedly told The Sun: “He asked Karen if he thought their partners were having an affair.

“Karen was very upset at the time and that’s when she asked Jamie to try and keep Louise away from Kevin.

“Emotions were running high because it’s not the type of situation either of them expected to be in.”
