Kara Tointon fears for Strictly hopes as she suffers with flu

Bookies favourite Kara Tointon is said to be fearing for her Strictly Come Dancing title hopes as she has been suffering from flu.

The ex-Eastender’s star will go head to head with matt Baker and Pamela Stephenson but has apparently been able to rehearse all week with her dancing partner Artem Chigvintsev.

An insider said, “She is desperate to win and fears this will ruin her chances.”

The final three will perform 4 dances including the show dance while eliminated favourites will make a come back for a group dance.

Former judge Arlene Phillips has revealed that she believes Tointon will win this weekend due to the chemistry she has with her dancing partner and off screen boyfriend, “There is a very powerful aroma around those two – Artem is such a horny male!” Arlene laughed. “He is so strong and powerful and she’s so delicate and fragile.”

The Strictly final airs this Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.
