JB Gill has revealed that his wife thought he'd kissed his dance partner Amy Dowden during their latest Strictly Come Dancing performance as they both hit back at claims they didn't show a 'connection'.

As they headed into the latest live show on Saturday night (October 12), the pair were riding high following their previous performance, in which JB channelled his inner Willy Wonka during his and Amy's Movie Week performance.

But it was a brand new week and as the competition heats up, JB and Amy performed a sexy Rumba to You Might Need Somebody by Kara Marni.
