Former England footballer Karen Carney has said she is “excited” and “honoured” to take on a Peaky Blinders-themed dance on Strictly Come Dancing.
The retired Lioness, who earned 144 caps for England before moving into TV punditry, will perform the Argentine Tango with professional partner Carlos Gu on Saturday night.
Carney said the routine was inspired by her love of the BBC crime drama set in Birmingham, with the pair hoping to “make the city proud”.
“It’s my favourite show,” said the former Birmingham City star. “I watch it every year from the first to last series repeatedly.”
