The running order was shared online ahead of the show

Before the show started, pro dancer Julian Caillon shared a blurry picture of the running order.

But as the show got underway, Strictly viewers noticed that Karen Carney was moved from the fourth slot in the line up.

The former footballer was dancing a Cha Cha Cha to She’s a Lady from Miss Congeniality with her pro partner Carlos Gu.

She was supposed to perform after YouTube star George Clarke, but he was followed by Drag Race star La Voix instead.

The eagle-eyed viewers immediately took to X to question the change, with one writing: “I wonder why they changed order with Karen and Carlos and they weren’t in Clauditorium.

“Maybe some wardrobe problem.”

Another added: “why did we skip karen and carlos in the running order.”

In the end, Karen and Carlos performed seventh and scored 25 points.

However, things went a bit awry when it came to the scores, as Motsi Mabuse almost missed her cue.

Craig Revel Horwood started things off with a disappointing 4.

As he delivered it, Motsi seemed completely surprised as she cried ‘Oh no’, before turning to the back of the desk and scrambling around.

She managed to grab her seven paddle in the nick of time and gave her score.

At the end of the night, Karen found herself in the bottom half of the leaderboard, joint third from bottom with Vicky Pattison.

Meanwhile, former Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope topped the leaderboard after receiving the first 10 of the series – from Motsi – for his Paso Doble.
