Kara Tointon Crowned Strictly Come Dancing Winner
Saturday’s Strictly final saw former Eastenders star Kara Tointon crowed the winner of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
However not only did Kara victoriously win the competition, she also won the heart of dance partner Artem Chigvinstev. Sparks flew between the pair when 14.5 million viewers witnessed the couple as they shared an intimate kiss on Saturdays live final after Kara was revealed the winner.
It is rumoured that Kara will be spending Christmas day with new love interest Artem and a tabloid source suggests she is excited about introducing him to her family. The couple’s chemistry shone through their performances on Saturday night’s show.
Deserved winner Kara’s outstanding Rumba and Waltz routines captured the nations hearts, in addition beating runners up, Pamela Stephenson and Matt Baker who also gave fantastic performances but wasn’t good enough to beat the young lovers.
Kara, 27 still managed to steal the show; taking the glitter ball trophy home with her despite having suffering recent injuries during rehearsals. After falling awkwardly while practicing a back flip Kara had to attend physio missing valuable rehearsal time before the show’s final.
She later received medical treatment in A&E where she discovered she had torn some ligaments in her arm. It is said that Kara was still having to take painkillers during the night of the show and she was in agony after her performances but a close source says she is on the mend and feeling much better.
This isn’t the first time Kara has had an on screen romance after love blossomed with former Eastenders co- star Joe Swash. The pair spilt earlier this year after their two year relationship crumbled under the intense pressure of being in the limelight.
However hopefully this fate will be avoided with new lover Artem as things are said to be looking bright and their pair are going strong.
