The animal has its legs crossed as it walks on the road towards the camera.

Written on the top of the meme is: “Can everybody just Please look at this cow.”

Maisie wrote over it: “@karenhauer walking to the chess board in her n @jamielaing’s tango” before finishing it off with a fire and a fox emoji.

At the beginning of Jamie and Karen’s dance, the professional dancer – dressed in a stunning black sequin dress – walks seductively over to Jamie sitting by a chessboard.

The dance managed to grab them a decent 24 points, but it wasn’t enough to escape the bottom two.

The pair faced off against Clara and Aljaz in the dance off – with Clara being eliminated.

Strictly fans were left “gutted” after the DJ made a number of mistakes during Saturday’s live show.

Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Clara and Aljaz, saying: “My goodness it’s a really difficult one, both couples I thought were absolutely incredible and danced with so much passion and love but the couple I would like to save, Clara and Aljaz.”

For the first time this series, the judges were split, with Motsi Mabuse choosing to save Jamie and Karen.

Motsi said: “I have to say this was one of the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make and based on that dance-off only I saw one couple that did their choreography and had all the steps correct and I saw another couple who had a mistake in the steps and in the timing.

“So I’m going to choose for me, I’m saving Jamie and Karen.”

This meant Head Judge Shirley Ballas had the deciding vote for the first time this series, and chose to save Jamie and Karen.

Shirley said: “Well this is a very difficult series, I mean every couple is outstanding and I felt on this occasion that both couples totally lifted their game, but there was one couple they just convinced me.

“They had conviction from step to step, they believed in their performance and therefore I’m going to save Jamie and Karen.”
