Strictly Come Dancing 's JB Gill has spoken out about his dance partner Amy Dowden not returning to the show for the rest of the season. Amy, 34, was absent from last Saturday's performance with JB, 37, after she reportedly 'collapsed' backstage the weekend before.
It has now been confirmed that she will step down from competing in the current series, with fellow dancer Lauren Oakley, 33, taking over as JB's permanent partner. Amy shared a statement about her heartbreak over her exit on Instagram, prompting JB to respond in the comments of her post: ⁘Heartbreaking news [Amy] but our moments will be forever in Strictly history, never forget that. Thank you for being the best teacher. Nothing but love from all of the Gill family.⁘
Additionally, JB, who had danced with Lauren temporarily on Saturday during Amy's initial absence, shared his feelings on his Instagram Story: ⁘Heartbroken for you right now [Amy] but like a phoenix you will rise. Isaiah 40:31.⁘
Like JB and other stars from Strictly, fellow pro Lauren reacted to Amy's post. Lauren - who previously didn't have a celebrity partner this year - wrote: ⁘This too shall pass. We're still a team. Love you. You did the ground work, I'll carry your partnership forward and hopefully make you proud.⁘
Other colleagues who reacted to the news included host Claudia Winkleman, who wrote in her reply to Amy: ⁘We love you so much.⁘
