The reality star captioned the snaps: ‘Yes I stole @karenhauer clothes!!’

Their fun photos came after Jamie joked about his and his Karen’s matching hairstyles as he appeared on BBC Breakfast on Thursday.

The Made In Chelsea star was asked if they had planned to both sport beach blond buzzcuts with a small quiff during the competition. 

Laughing, Jamie said the identical haircuts means viewers could potentially confuse him for Karen on the dance floor. 

When asked if they co-ordinated their hairstyles for the show, Jamie said: ‘We didn’t. We didn’t.  

‘I think the good news is some people mistake me for Karen when we’re dancing so they may think I’m as good as Karen. I’m totally not.

She is the most incredible dancer. But we do have matching haircuts which kind of works in a weird kind of way. It’s cool. We look like Power Rangers together or something like that.’ 

Earlier this week, the routines for week five of Strictly were revealed, as the remaining eight couples reached the halfway stage of the competition.

After earning their highest score yet, Jamie and Karen will take on a Couple’s Choice to the funky hit Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) by C+C Music Factory when they take to the floor on Saturday.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Karen shared a behind-the-scenes look at their dance rehearsals as they worked with the choreographers for the upcoming dance.
