Lauren Oakley has broken her silence after being announced as Amy Dowden's Strictly Come Dancing replacement following her health scare.
Amy was admitted to hospital following a reported collapse at Elstree Studios, the BBC show's Hertfordshire base after suffering a 'medical emergency' backstage during Saturday's live Halloween special; pictured last week Welsh ballroom dancer Amy, 34, who is understood to be in remission after battling breast cancer, returned to the show following a two-year absence in September but collapsed on Saturday night backstage. Lauren will rehearse with JB in Amy's absence after the singer avoided the dance-off, finishing fifth on the Strictly leader-board with a collective score of 32 from show judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel-Horwood and Anton du Beke.
