00:00Do you think it might be a dark horse?

00:02Ooh, Karen. That jive she did week one. A footballer. Who would have fought it?

00:07I know, two footballers? But for me, for Karen, I don't know, it was unexpected.

00:12And I love the way she's coming out there and she's selling these performances.

00:15She's really bringing her personality or character to the dance.

00:22And that, for me, really surprised me.

00:26And she's just a lovely, lovely soul. So down-to-earth. So normal.

00:32So kind and caring. Honestly, she can't stop stopping me and saying,

00:36Are you okay? How are you?

00:37And when I got eliminated, gosh, she just kept checking with my family.

00:41Were they okay? She's honestly such a kind soul.

00:44So do you know what? It's a tough one, really.

00:47Honestly, I couldn't tell you who's going to win.

00:51But that's what makes it so exciting. And I love it.
