Kara injured herself during her second dance performance of the night performing to Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now.
‘On the last two dances I couldn’t really move my arm. It was a weird experience not being able to move my arm, thank God it wasn’t my leg because that would have a been a disaster,’ Kara said.
