Fans were left speechless by ex-Lioness Karen Carney's stunning performance on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday evening.

The former Arsenal star made her dancing debut on the popular prime-time BBC One show alongside her professional partner Carlos Gu - and she didn't disappoint.

Having waited the entire show for her moment, Carney was last onto the dancefloor and performed a football-inspired Jive which left the judges amazed.

'I just have to be honest here. I have never seen anything like that. The compactness in your centre, keeping everything close to your centre and pump, pump, pump, pump,' Motsi Mabuse praised.
