BBC Strictly Come Dancing star says 'we were losing him' as she says couples risk being 'penalised'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A former Strictly Come Dancing star has claimed we were 'losing' JB Gill as she hailed his latest performance in the ballroom.

The JLS star had a tricky couple of weeks in the BBC One dance contest as he had to swap professional dance partners. There was gutting news last week as it was confirmed that JB's dance partner Amy Dowden wouldn't be able to continue competing in the BBC One dance contest.

The Welsh dancer made a triumphant return to the ballroom back in September after being forced to miss out on competing in the 2023 series due to undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

She was paired with JB for the 2024 series and they were going from strength to strength. After missing a week of rehearsals and a live show, it was confirmed that Amy wouldn't be able to return to the competition as she recovers from a foot injury and that JB would carry on the remainder of his time on the hit dance show with Lauren Oakley.
