Over the weekend, the blonde bombshell performed the tango with her professional dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec to the hit song Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine.

Their impressive routine scored them 34 out of a possible 40 on the BBC dance competition, but the reality star admitted that she found it difficult to find the “tango energy”.

Ahead of their impressive performance, her father Tarek took to social media to share the star’s difficulty with the sizzling routine online.

“Good to catch up with Tash and check in on her – she has struggled a lot learning the Tango this week with Aljaz is a hard task to master in pursuit of perfection.”
