Strictly Come Dancing’s Amy Dowden broke down in tears as JB Gill scored his first 10 with replacement partner Lauren Oakley on Saturday, 2 November.

The JLS singer’s professional partner was unable to participate in week seven’s show after being taken to hospital from the BBC show’s production centre last week as a precaution after she began feeling unwell.

Oakley stood in for her, performing a Bruno Mars medley with Gill for a score of 39.

A visibly emotional Dowden looked on with tears in her eyes as Gill and Oakley received their points.
