 Strictly Come Dancing star Eddie Kadi has been spotted getting pretty cozy with his professional partner Karen Hauer, after addressing the show's infamous curse. The 40-year-old comedian is joining the likes of Amanda Abbington, Layton Williams, Angela Rippon, and Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the ballroom this year, and practice is well underway after Saturday's launch show. After telling Metro.co.uk that Eddie has already 'crumbled' in front of Karen, and fears moments where he's 'let her down', the pair have now been seen getting pretty close. As they left rehearsals in London, Karen looked very happy with her new partner, and they couldn't stop smiling and laughing, as they shared a sweet hug in the rain. Both were dressed down in comfy clothes, covering themselves from the rain as they left training. This comes after Eddie admitted he's not at all scared of the curse in a chat with Metro.co.uk. 'Everyone talks about this curse, it's just ridiculous,' he told us.

'I'm here to have a great time and really enjoy myself, and I think being in the moment and really delving into this adventure that is Strictly Come Dancing is what I'm here for. 'The curse, people talk about it, but to me, it doesn't exist.' Radio DJ Eddie also told us that he reckons he's met 'someone who can control my energy'. Gushing over Karen, who is the longest-serving pro on the show, he went on: 'There's been moments where I've come to understand, especially from my teacher, my pro, she already expects a certain level.
