Kara Denies Strictly Rumours

Rumours have been circulating for a while that Kara Tointon would be a participant in this year's series.

However, The Mirror reports that this is not the case. Kara told Closer magazine: "Strictly Come Dancing is one of my favourite shows and I'll definitely be watching it this year, but I want to be a serious actress. I don't have time for dancing as I'm spending my time going to auditions."

To be fair, Kara had her turn on Sport Relief, so we have already seen what she can do. And that could be a disadvantage, as the public would have pre-conceptions.
