Strictly pro eyes up huge career change saying it’s their ‘true calling’
A STRICTLY Come Dancing professional has confessed she’s eyeing up a huge career change.
Karen Hauer has been a pro on Strictly since 2012 and is currently paired with Eddie Kadi.
But while the 41-year-old old says she loves her job it seems she wants to follow in Anton Du Beke‘s footsteps and take a seat on the judging panel.
“Right now, I’m really happy with being a professional on Strictly, and to continue spreading that love of dance.
“As clichéd as it sounds, it can change your life, and some people still have no idea.”
Karen continued to Radio Times: “But also, I’d love to be a judge on Strictly. I love to teach and I love to guide people. I think that’s my calling, my next step.”
She added: “Doing a job that makes people happy and makes them smile is something I never take for granted, working on this show can be exhausting.
“But the fact that we get to entertain the nation – that’s where we get the energy.”
There’s no doubt Karen knows what she’s talking about it when it comes to the dancefloor and last weekend she and Eddie, 40, scored the first 10 of the series after their Men in Black performance.
Head judge Shirley Ballas told them: “This was slick, it had style, it was edgy, it was entertaining, you found your groove. Everything that you love in dance you were able to bring today as a partnership, I absolutely loved it.”
