Karen Carney Begged Strictly Bosses To Let Her Ditch Heels

Former footballer Karen Carney has revealed she struggled with the high heels required for Strictly Come Dancing, even getting stuck in a pair for four hours. Speaking on Sunday Brunch, Carney described the ordeal as 'stressful' and admitted she has begged producers to let her wear trainers instead.

Carney said the heels were meant to be 'easy release' but weren't, leaving her trapped. 'I was sweating, getting more anxious, there was no one around to try and help me,' she recalled. She eventually freed herself after taking a deep breath.

The star also confessed to watching the launch show with her 'head in her hands', finding it hard to see herself dance. Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One on Saturdays.
