BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans make 'lovely' JB Gill observation after emotional show update

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing fans were quick to make a 'lovely' observation about JB Gill's latest weekend in the dance show as he was joined by a very special guest in Blackpool.

The JLS star and his professional dance partner Lauren Oakley, who replaced Amy Dowden after she had to heartbreakingly exit the competition due to a foot injury, were among the eight remaining couples to perform in the town's iconic Tower Ballroom during its annual special.

JB's bandmates were seen offering him encouragement, before he danced in Blackpool during the show's annual special on Saturday night (November 16), at a rehearsal session with Lauren.

Judge Anton Du Beke praised JB for his "great control, lovely technique", but criticised his head position and head judge Shirley Ballas told the singer and TV star that there is "so much to like with you", and the "sky’s the limit" if he managed to get his positioning correct before he and Lauren received 35 points.
