Strictly’s Karen Hauer has revealed she wants to be part of the show’s second same-sex couple for the news series.
Last year boxer Nicola Adams and her professional partner Katya Jones made history as the first same-sex couple to compete in the BBC One celebrity dancing competition.
Hauer told Hello! magazine: “A same-sex partner would be incredible. The support behind Strictly’s first same-sex couple last year was extraordinary.”
She was previously married to her former Strictly co-star Kevin Clifton for three years between 2015 and 2018, before they split and he went on to date his dancer partner Stacey Dooley.
