Mark and Karen became the first couple to re-start a routine after the couple's initial attempt saw Mark’s mic get caught in Karen’s dress during a salsa dance – they still managed to achieve the highest score of the night.
In 2008, Mark appeared on a Strictly Come Dancingepisode of The Weakest Link; he was voted off in the firth round.
