Strictly viewers have called for change on the show after Karen Hauer left the competition this weekend with Paul Merson.
Karen and Paul faced JB Gill and Amy Dowden in Sunday night’s dance-off. The judges then decided to save JB and Amy, meaning Karen and Paul were sent home.
But now, viewers have expressed some concern over pro dancer Karen’s future on Strictly Come Dancing.

They also made a plea over her next celebrity partner.
After she and Paul left the competition, one fan said on X: “I hope if Karen comes back next year, she gets a ringer and can do some full-out choreography.
“She’s never really had the chance, and she deserves it after finishing 12th for the past four years.”
Another wrote: “Actually loved Paul and Karen. Please Strictly give Karen a contender next year she’s never looked soo happy being a part of the show as of right now.”
Someone else added: “Paul did well, but let’s hope Karen has a better partner next year.”

Another wrote: “This is the fourth series in a row where Karen has come 12th… I don’t think she needs to come back next year.”
