Karen Hauer has been flooded with compliments after showing off the results of her latest trip to the salon, after teasing her Strictly Come Dancing comeback.
It was back in April that the BBC confirmed the professional line-up for the upcoming run of the hit dance show, with Karen among the dancers set to return.
As well as Karen, Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden. Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk will all also take to the floor once more.
Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola, will all also be back in the ballroom when the 2025 run of the BBC One dance contest gets underway.
However, it's not actually the complete line-up as it has also been revealed that two brand new professional dancers will be making their debut, with them set to be revealed closer to the return of the show.
With the professional dancers set to reunite soon as rehearsals begin for the pre-record of the group numbers seen throughout the series, Karen was seen taking some time out for a pamper.
Taking to Instagram, the 43-year-old shared pictures and videos from her trip to Kitch Hair where Luca Jones got his hands on her locks.
In the end, Karen showed off a gorgeous curlier do which was a hit with fans. Captioning the post, she wrote: "Rocking the curls. @lucajoneshair doing his magic. @kitchhair #curlyhair #naturalhair." She also shared the post to her Instagram Story and said: "The curl game is on!"
And the comments soon came flooding in. Strictly co-star Nikita Kuzmin said: "Hotttt [heart emoji]." Jowita Pryzstal gushed: "Loooove." Luba Mushtuk replied: "Beautiful," while Nancy Xu and Lauren Oakley flooded the post with love heart eyes emojis.

It comes after Karen addressed her upcoming return to the Strictly ballroom. She took to Instagram with a video from her workout in the gym and said: "The training isn’t just for the stage.
"It’s how I stay centred … before the lights, before the audience, before it all begins. Especially on the days I don’t want to do it, when excuses feel easier, and anxiety, stress, or negative thoughts try to take over.
"But I show up anyway. I do my best .. because that’s all I can do. That’s where the real work happens. Rehearsals are around the corner, but the connection starts here. #training #stronger #strictly."
