Strictly's JB Gill makes a surprising admission about new dance partner Lauren Oakley as he shares a major health update on Amy Dowden after her health scare


The JLS star, 37, has been given a new professional partner for Icons Week, after Amy was taken to hospital after collapsing backstage on Saturday.

Speaking to OJ Bord during Scott Mills' show on BBC Radio 2, he said: 'Well, of course everybody’s different and especially when you’re doing partner work - Amy’s slightly shorter than Lauren, you know, there are little sort of bits and pieces that are different for each of them. Moments earlier the dancer had performed the Foxtrot to Toploader hit Dancing In The Moonlight with her celebrity partner, JLS star JB Gill. The pair climbed to number five on the Strictly leaderboard after being awarded a collective score of 32 from show judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
