The star looked her usual stylish self in a smart baby blue and white pinstripe shirt and charcoal grey bodysuit. She accessorised with dainty gold jewellery and flipped her brunette curls over to one side for a fuss-free look.

The BBC recently revealed the full celebrity line-up – and we're beyond excited for this year's show. The likes of Les Dennis, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Angela Scanlon and Angela Rippon are all set to battle it out on the Strictly dance floor.
As for the professionals, Karen is poised to reunite with a number of familiar Strictly faces including Giovannie Pernice, Dianne Buswell, Gorka Marquez and Nancy Xu.
Karen's candid bedroom photo comes after she spoke exclusively to HELLO! magazine about her relationship with husband Jordan Wyn-Jones.
While the couple are very much loved-up, Karen candidly opened up about how she and her husband "get outside help" whenever they experience rough patches.
When asked about the secret to their happy marriage, Karen said: "Counselling. You know what I think communication is massive but learning how to communicate, you know, so we get outside help."

"There is no such thing as a happy marriage or a happy relationship with the perfect couple. It's about dealing with things the right way and not just running away from things, and I guess that's what makes us tick even better and understand one another."
