Karen and fellow Strictly pro Gorka announced in September that they would be teaming up for a string of incredible live dance shows in the new year, and both took to Instagram at the time to share a spectacular promo video of the Firedance tour with their followers, and were quickly inundated with comments from excited fans and famous friends. "Insane!" Frankie Bridge said of the video, while Laura Whitmore simply commented "Yaaaaaassss" followed by a series of fire emojis.

The sizzling video shows the Strictly stars performing together against a backdrop of flames, with Karen wowing in a series of incredible dresses. The show seems to have a Spanish theme – Gorka is from Bilbao, while Karen hails from Venezuela – with Gorka dressed in a matador-inspired costume for a large part of the clip.

Even Gorka's partner Gemma Atkinson couldn't resist sharing the promo clip on her own Instagram, adding the caption: "When two Latinos get together on the dance floor, you know it's gonna be [fire emojis]. SO excited to see Gorks & Karen in their first UK tour next year. @firedancelive is going to be incredible. Bravo guys."
