Strictly star JB Gill opens up about swapping partners

STRICTLY star JB Gill has opened up about swapping partners – and why being a JLS member hasn’t been an advantage. The singer, 37, is one of just six remaining celebs in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Partner Switch and Injury

He was first paired up with pro dancer Amy Dowden. Amy later had to withdraw – with Lauren Oakley taking over as JB’s partner. Amy pulled out of the competition to focus on recovery following a foot injury.
