Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden sent a special message to her dance partner JB Gill as he prepared to dance without her on Saturday night.

The Welsh dancer, 34, was forced to pull out of this weekend’s show after collapsing backstage last week, with her professional partner Lauren Oakley recruited as her replacement.

And hours before JLS singer JB, 37, and choreographer Lauren, 33, hit the dance floor, Amy, who is believed to be in remission after battling breast cancer and has Crohn’s disease, wrote a heartfelt message of support for the couple on social media. .
