BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers say 'it feels illegal' over JB Gill and Lauren Oakley comments

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left sharing an opinion they said 'felt illegal' following JB Gill and Lauren Oakley's return to the ballroom.

The pair are officially a new couple in the BBC One dance contest following Amy Dowden's heartbreaking exit from the show. The professional dancer was paired with the JLS star for the 2024 run of the BBC One dance contest which marked her triumphant return to the ballroom after having to miss competing in the 2023 edition due to undergoing cancer treatment, but, following a foot injury, she has been forced to withdraw from the competition.

Last weekend, Amy was forced to miss the first-ever 'Icons Week' on Strictly after "falling ill" the weekend before and missing a week of rehearsals to rest.

It was then confirmed at the start of the week that she was unable to continue in the show due to a foot injury, meaning JB would continue on in the show with Lauren who had already stepped-in.
