BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say sarcastic 'thank you' after 'crazy' JB Gill news brings back 'trauma'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A sarcastic 'thank you' was shared by some Strictly Come Dancing fans after Claudia Winkleman delivered a piece of 'crazy' news to JB Gill.

The JLS star was confirmed to have made it through to week eight of the BBC One dance contest during the latest results show on Sunday night (November 3) after he faced a tricky week of training as not only was he learning a new routine but he also had a new partner.

Amy Dowden wasn't able to rehearse with JB this week and therefore didn't before during the latest live show on Saturday night (November 2) after she fell ill following the previous weekend's Halloween special, forcing her to miss the results show that is pre-recorded following the main show.

Amy joined them live in the studio and was later seen fighting tears while praising JB and Lauren's performance, which saw the singer and presenter bag his first 10s of the series, with the judges awarding him and Lauren 39 out of a possible 40 points.
