Jamie, who is dating Sophie Habboo, got changed at one point into a glitzy outfit, no doubt trying it on for size.
Karen revealed she had split from her boyfriend of two years, David Webb, in October – no reasons for the split have been given.

And their couple’s choice dance appeared to go down very well with the judges, who gave them rave review for their dance.
‘I’m in shock!’ Shirley Ballas remarked, as Craig Revel Horwood gushed over the dance, despite admitting ‘I thought it was going to be all homeboys on the Kings Road trying to be all street’.
When it came to the scores, the judges were very generous, with Craig giving them a nine and Shirley and Anton Du Beke dishing out 10s.
Jamie and Karen were ecstatic at the result and jumped up and down as their near-perfect 29 score placed them at the top of the leaderboard.
