Strictly dancer Karen Hauer is selling her old gym wear and red carpet gowns after being axed from the show

After being let go from Strictly Come Dancing, Karen Hauer began selling some of her used workout clothes and dresses from special events.

I was so shocked to read in the Daily Mail that Karen won’t be returning to Strictly! Apparently, she found out just a few days ago that they weren’t renewing her contract. It’s really sad news, as she’s been part of the show since 2012 and I’ve always loved watching her dance.

The 47-year-old professional dancer is now selling her pre-owned clothing on the Reliked website.

She’s selling a lot of things, like dresses she used to wear to red carpet events and her old workout equipment.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always on the lookout for great deals, and right now there are some fantastic savings to be had! I’ve spotted some amazing discounts – up to 70% off, actually – and I wanted to highlight a particular find: a pair of blue Sweaty Betty leggings are currently available for just £39. It’s a perfect time to treat yourself or grab a gift!

Also among the used activewear for sale is a Varley snake-print sports top and matching leggings.

One standout look was the shimmering gold dress with thin straps she wore to the 2018 BAFTAs.

I was really shocked to hear that Karen was let go from the show – it’s such a blow! And now I’m hearing rumors that they might completely revamp the professional dancers too. It’s a lot of change, and honestly, I’m a bit worried about what it means for the future of the show, but I’m also curious to see what they do.

I was so shocked to hear that Karen, who’s been a pro on the show for an incredible 13 years – she’s the longest-serving female professional, you know – was let go. I heard about the decision just recently, and I’m really upset about it.

I’m so shocked and saddened to hear that Nadiya Bychkova, Michelle Tsiakkas, Luba Mushtuk, and Gorka Márquez – all fantastic dancers – won’t be returning for the next season of Strictly. Apparently, they already knew this was happening, which makes it even harder to believe. It’s a real loss for the show, in my opinion!

A source revealed that Karen is the newest professional dancer who won’t have her contract renewed this year.

It’s time for a fresh start on Strictly. After many years as a professional dancer on the show, Karen learned last week that she won’t be returning.

Another source said it’s heartbreaking for the professional dancers who have built their careers around the show.

Karen was clearly distressed by the news, but she’s determined to stay hopeful. She’s a choreographer and plans to dedicate more time to her creative work, alongside her existing fitness career.

Aljaž Škorjanec probably won’t be back, but Carlos Gu and Johannes Radebe are confirmed to return.

I’ve been a huge fan of Karen for years, and honestly, it breaks my heart she’s never lifted the Strictly glitterball! She got so close back in 2014 with Mark, making it all the way to the final, but sadly, it just wasn’t her time. I’m still hoping she’ll finally win one day!

Karen and Kevin Clifton were married for three years before separating. Even after their divorce, they continued to collaborate on the show.

The Daily Mail has contacted Karen’s spokesperson for comment.

Leaders are reportedly planning a complete overhaul after years of complaints and issues with the professional dancers.

Both Neil Jones, 43, and Nancy Xu, 34, will also be paired with non-celebrity partners this year, continuing a pattern for Jones who hasn’t often been matched with a celebrity on the show.

It’s believed they may still appear in the big group dance numbers.
