BBC Strictly Come Dancing star in 'worrying spot' after major competition change

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

One Strictly Come Dancing star is said to be in a 'worrying spot' after a major change to his time in the competition. JB Gill should be riding high after getting his highest score to date in the BBC One dance contest last weekend.

However, the JLS star faced a tricky week after being forced to rehearse without Amy Dowden after she "fell ill" following their Halloween week performance at the end of last month.

Professional dancer Lauren Oakley stepped in to train and perform with him last Saturday night (November 2) after Amy had to take time out to rest.

But Amy's future in the hit dance show this year was confirmed during Monday night's (November 4) edition of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two where it was revealed she was having to withdraw from the 2024 series.
