Reacting to Sunday night's pro dance which saw Luba and Karen Hauer perform a powerful routine to Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful', viewers questioned why the Russian dancer wasn't paired with a celeb contestant in the 2022 series.

Seeing karen and luba, two women I admire so much, whose friendship I admire so much, sharing centre stage is so beautiful and important to me. And let me say for the 100th time - GIVE @LubaMushtuk A FEMALE PARTNER NEXT YEAR I BEG," while another added: "This was absolutely amazing. I couldn't take my eyes of Luba and Karen... just wow. Mesmerising. Please give Luba a female partner next year!"

A number of fans simply praised the breathtaking routine, with one person tweeting: "Oh my life. That was one brilliant routine. So nice to see Karen and Luba take centre stage. Just absolutely loved that. Everything worked perfectly. Well done," while another added: "It was an outstanding performance. Goosebumps moment!"

Luba addressed her lack of a celebrity partner during a video on her Instagram Stories back in September. She told her followers: "I read a lot of messages and I physically cannot answer them, so I thought I'll pop in here and say to all of you who are a little bit upset that I didn't get a celebrity partner, don't worry.
