JB Gill Supports Amy Dowden

JB Gill, the JLS singer, has broken his silence after his dance partner Amy Dowden was forced to withdraw from Strictly Come Dancing due to a medical emergency. Amy had to leave the competition following a foot injury after temporarily stepping down over the weekend.

Sympathetic Message from JB

JB expressed his support for Amy by commenting on her Instagram post announcing her exit, saying, "Heartbreaking news [Amy] but our moments will be forever in Strictly history, never forget that." He also shared a message on his own Instagram story, stating, "Heartbroken for you right now [Amy], but like a phoenix you will rise. Isaiah 40:31."

Amy's Emotional Announcement

In her announcement on Instagram, Amy shared her heartbreak at having to leave the show due to a foot injury. She revealed that her goal since battling cancer was to get back on the Strictly dance floor and expressed hope to dance with JB again in the future.

Lauren Oakley Steps In

Following Amy's exit, Lauren Oakley will be taking her place as JB's dance partner for the remainder of the competition. BBC confirmed that Amy would focus on her recovery while Lauren steps in to dance with JB.

Amy's Health Challenges

Amy's recent foot injury comes after a fractured foot last November, which occurred after she finished cancer treatment. She has been battling stage three breast cancer and Crohn’s Disease for almost 18 months.

Despite the challenges, fans have been touched by Amy's resilience and determination. JB and Lauren received high scores for their performance, and Amy's presence was missed by viewers as she cheered them on from the sidelines.
