Strictly see-through! Nicky Byrne's partner Karen Hauer sets temperatures rising in a barely-there dress
|
Karen Hauer is the newest member of the Strictly Come Dancing professionals as she partners Westlife singer Nicky Byrne.
However, the Venezuelan pro certainly stood out from her peers on Saturday night's show as she raised temperatures in a very risque dress.
The 30-year-old dancer left little to the imagination as she performed the Argentine Tango in a tiny lace dress.

Sizzling: Nicky Byrne and Karen Hauer performed the Argentine Tango on Saturday night's episode pf Strictly Come Dancing
The sheer lace panels and the high hemline barely covered her super-toned physique as she strode across the floor.
At one point she wrapped her legs around Nicky, nearly flashing her derriere to the cameras as they performed to Adele's James Bond theme song Skyfall, ending up with a score of 30.
Her dress certainly got a good response on Twitter, with many viewers remarking how sexy it was.

Coronation Street actress Natalie Gumede tweeted: 'I'm not sure about Karen's dress going to a point at the crotch. Must ask for a 'strictly' next time I go for a wax. #scd @bbcstrictly.'
One Twitter user tweeted: 'Blimey... there doesn't appear to be much of Karen's dress... but it looks gorgeous.'
Another wrote: 'Wow can see Karen's dress properly now - skimpy ain't the word! Perfect Bond girl lol #scd.'
A male Twitter user wrote: 'Karen Hauer - almost pornographic there! Hot Hot!'

Following their sizzling performance, judge Darcey Bussell said: 'The intensity was perfect... I would have liked a more lustful Nicky towards Karen in those moves... You can get a little bit hard and it has to be a bit more sensual.
'Think about your pecs. Definitely a great performance.'
Len Goodman added: ''The overall feeling of the dance for me was too much ballroom-y tango... It could have been a bit more fluid in the movement... I loved all the lifts.'

Bruno Tonioli remarked: 'I think a lot of people like it that hard. You have the license to kill... You put so much power into it.'
Karen only joined Strictly Come Dancing this year, but has previously been seen on the US show So You Think You Can Dance.
She originally participated with her then-husband Matthew Hauer in the 2009 series, but was eliminated in Week 5.

Hailing from Venuzuela, it's no surprise Karen is a Latin dance specialist and was a former World Mambo champion.
She started off her debut Strictly series in Week 1 with a ticking off from judge Craig Revel Horwood for an illegal lift in her and Nicky's waltz.
She defended her choreography at the time, saying: 'I don’t think it was a mistake. We take risks as performers and artists and it was a learning experience.
'I am new to this so I had to learn the ropes. It was just a shame Nicky did a great waltz and all of the focus was on those two seconds where my feet left the floor.'
