She’s been a seasoned pro since 2012 but Karen Clifton has dropped a HUGE bombshell – this could be her last series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 34-year-old, who is partnered with Will Young , hinted that she may bow out of the celebrity dancing competition later this year because she wants to start a family with husband and fellow dancer Kevin Clifton.
“Kevin and I are hoping to have a family pretty soon so that’ll probably mean I’m going to be out of the show in the near future,” she told The Sun.
She added: “But we absolutely love Strictly!”

“I want at least two kids and a dog and a big house and a bird. Two kids will keep me busy, ” she added.
Husband Kevin, who’s partnering Louise Redknapp this series, also hopes to start a family soon.

“Karen talks about having kids quite a bit. We have spoken about starting a family – it’s just fitting it in to the schedule,” he said.
“It would be a lovely thing – we’ll create the new generation.”
The dancing couple married in Westminster last year with their Strictly co-stars and celebrity contestants, including Susanna Reid and Frankie Bridge, in attendance.
