'I'm a comic but it's Karen who provides the laughs'

It's Strictly Comedy Dancing for Eddie and new friend

COMEDIAN Eddie Kadi admits he expected to have Strictly partner Karen Hauer in stitches - but it's the "goofy" dancer who gets the laughs.

The comic, 40, says he may have gained a soulmate in series pro Karen, with the duo loving their time together on and off the dancefloor.

He revealed the pair have been cracking each other up as they work on their moves.

Eddie said: "As a comedian, you automatically think, I'm going to come into this space and she'll expect me to make her laugh'. No! She makes me laugh, because she's just herself. From the very beginning, she was goofy.
