Strictly's Jamie Laing shares sweet rehearsal snap with his pro partner Karen Hauer as they battle to stay in the show after last week's dance off

They narrowly avoided being eliminated on Sunday after facing a dance off against Jacqui Smith. 

And Jamie Laing, 32, gave fans a glimpse into his preparations ahead of week three of Strictly Come Dancing as he shared a sweet snap with pro Karen Hauer on Friday.

The dancing duo appeared to be in good spirits as they took a quick break from rehearsals, where they're learning a Charleston, and smiled for the camera.

Jamie kept things casual in a white t-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms as he put the finishing touches on their routine.

The star also ensured to break in his dancing shoes by donning appropriate leather footwear for his upcoming Hercules-inspired dance. 

Karen also cut a relaxed figure in black trousers and leg warmers, with the pro flashing a glimpse of her taut midriff in a black sports bra. 

Both Jamie and Karen shared the same black-and-white picture, with the reality TV star penning: 'We’re JAREN in the name of the Lord.'

While the Venezuelan professional dancer, 38, captioned her post: 'Camera block time with Hercules.'

On Saturday's show the former Made In Chelsea star will perform the Charleston to Zero To Hero from Hercules. 

It comes after their week two American Smooth routine to Night and Day by Frank Sinatra, which left them towards the end of the leaderboard with a score of 17.

However despite being in the dance off, this was an improvement on their debut performance of a Cha Cha to Think About Things by Daði Freyr where they only managed to get a 14.

It comes after Jamie joked that he has found a new way of learning routines, saying that his dance partner Karen 'sneaks into his room every night'. 

The star, who is in a relationship with Sophie Habboo, 27, said Karen 'whispers the steps in my ear' in a bid to help them ahead of their Charleston. 

Jamie told The Sun: 'Honestly, Karen comes to me in my room at night. Last night I woke up and Karen was in my room. 

'I'm like, "Karen what are you doing here?" And she said, "Sorry, I was whispering into your ear".

'I tell her, "Alright, but listen, we've got a show to do and I need sleep, alright?, You get back to your room". 

'I honestly think Karen crawls into my room at night and she whispers into my ear what the steps have to be, and somehow it goes into your mind because you wake up one day and go, "Oh my God, that's what this is, that's what that is".'

While on Thursday, Jamie risked the wrath of girlfriend Sophie after he posted a naked snap of her in the bath.

Jamie has been training hard this week, so it was little wonder he was miffed at not being allowed a soak in the tub after rehearsals when Sophie refused to get out. 

Taking to Instagram, Jamie claimed that sharing the snap online was his 'revenge' after he was denied a bath after a full day of dancing. 

Despite being caught out, Sophie flashed a peace sign and smiled for the camera as she continued her relaxing time in her bath.
