Karen Byrne’s ex-boyfriend Wojtek Potazkin has spoken out, after her romance with Jake Carter was confirmed last week. 

The pro dancer was partnered with singer Jake Carter on RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars earlier this year, while she was still in a relationship with her long-term love Wojtek – who she ran a dance school with.

While Jake and Karen remained friends during their time on the show, their friendship blossomed into romance when she split from Wojtek over the summer.

Speaking out for the first time since Karen and Jake’s romance hit headlines, Wojtek confirmed that he has left their dance school in a statement posted on Facebook.

He wrote: “With a very heavy heart – after beautiful 5 years full of love, loyalty, hard work and honesty I am left with no choice and I will no longer work under the umbrella of ‘Karen & Wojtek School of Dance’.”

“I want to thank all the teachers, dance parents and especially all the dancers that I will always love eternally for their trust in my knowledge, experience and love to the art and sport of dancing.”

“This week of lessons and exams under my own name will go ahead as planned.”

According to RSVP Live, he added, “I’m still fully available to all of you individually. My own School will open shortly, for the details contact me in private. I love You all, Wojtek.”

Karen and Jake won the 2018 series of RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars earlier this year.
