KAREN Clifton has been a hit since she joined Strictly as a professional dancer alongside her husband way back in 2012.
Here’s everything you need to know about the dance pro who danced with Charles Venn, and why she split from Kevin…
Who is Karen Clifton?
Karen Clifton, 36, (formerly Hauer) is professional ballroom dancer of Venezuelan descent.
She has won various accolades including US Amateur American Rhythm National Champion and World Mambo Champion.
In 2009 she competed on US show So You Think You Can Dance, but now she is now best-known for her work on Strictly Come Dancing, joining the roster of professionals in 2012.
Since then, she has been partnered with Westlife’s Nicky Byrne, Towie star Mark Wright, Dave Myers and Jeremy Vine.
In 2016 she was partnered with Will Young, but he withdrew from the contest after week four.
She went on to win the Children in Need version of the show with athlete Lutalo Muhammed that year, and joined in the Christmas special alongside chef Ainsley Harriot.
Last year’s competition saw her paired with chef Simon Rimmer and the couple were the fifth couple to be eliminated.
Both Kevin and his sister Joanne who was also previously a professional on the show have had more luck than Karen with their show partners, as Joanne won with Ore Oduba in 2016 and Kevin has come second with four of his partners.
When did Karen Clifton get married to Kevin?
Karen tied the knot with Kevin in July 2015, after meeting in New York while working.
He proposed to her on her birthday on stage as they starred in a touring production of Burn The Floor in 2014.
After the pair got married, Karen decided to take on her husband’s last name professionally, and is now known as Karen Clifton.
Karen was previously married to former dance partner, Matthew Hauer.
Why did Karen Clifton split from husband Kevin?
Kevin and Karen Clifton confirmed they were splitting in March 2018.
During the 2017 series of Strictly their communication reportedly “became strained” due to their hectic work schedules and long distance commutes.
The Sun exclusively revealed in December 2017 that Karen, 35, had been dating an accountant as her marriage hits the rocks.
Then in February 2018, The Sun exclusively revealed that the couple were set to divorce two months after their marriage was rocked by Karen having an affair.
It was also reported that Karen was jealous of Louise Redknapp, Kevin’s celebrity dance partner on the show in 2016.
According to a friend of Karen the Strictly dancer reportedly told Louise’s husband Jamie Redknapp: “Keep your wife away from my husband. She’s ruining our marriage.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
