Eddie Kadi, comedian and Strictly Come Dancing star, was seen getting pretty close with his professional partner Karen Hauer after addressing the show's infamous 'curse'.
The 40-year-old has joined the likes of Amanda Abbington, Layton Williams, Angela Rippon, and Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the ballroom this year, and practice has been underway since Saturday's launch show.
The Agency reported that Eddie had already 'crumbled' in front of Karen during practice, and feared moments where he'd 'let her down'.
The couple were recently spotted leaving rehearsals in London, and couldn't help but smile and laugh as they shared a sweet hug in the rain. They both dressed down in comfy clothes, covering themselves from the rain as they left training.
Eddie had previously dismissed any rumours of a curse in a chat with The Agency, saying ‘Everyone talks about this curse, it’s just ridiculous... For me, I don’t see it, maybe it’s been a blessing for some people, but I’m not worried about the stupid curse. I’m here to have a great time and really enjoy myself’.
The comedian also gushed about Karen, the show's longest-serving pro, saying he had 'met someone who can control [his] energy'. He admitted that there had been moments when he'd made mistakes and let her down, but she had a way of reacting that helped him to get back on track.
Eddie seemed to be very excited about being partnered with Karen, and said he felt 'phenomenal' when he found out who his partner was. He also mentioned that professional dancing lessons are not cheap, and that he was lucky to be getting them for free.
The pair will take to the ballroom for their first live dance this Saturday, and it's sure to be an exciting performance. Until then, we can only imagine the chemistry they'll create on the dancefloor!
