Former England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips says he is drawing on advice from Karen Carney ahead of his debut on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing. The Manchester City legend plans to use Carney’s experience to prepare for his first appearance on the competition.
Both outlets report that Wright-Phillips has been speaking with Carney, who is a Strictly champion, to help him with his approach to ballroom dancing. They agree that his goal is to make a strong impression when he takes to the dance floor later this month, aligning his preparation with guidance from someone who has previously competed successfully on the show.
The coverage focuses on his pre-Strictly preparations and the connection between the two football figures, but does not add further detail in the excerpts about his specific training, partner, or routines, which may be set out in additional reporting or official Strictly announcements.
