Jayde has previously revealed the heart-breaking tragedy behind her doing the show.

The comedian has revealed she signed up in honour of her sister.

Jayde’s sister Jenna tragically passed away 11 years ago from a brain tumour at the age of just 28.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: “I think my sister’s definitely orchestrating things for me. It all feels so serendipitous.

“It’s such an emotional thing for me.”

Jayde and Jenna took part in freestyle disco dancing from the ages of five to 17.

She recalled: “I really held Jenna back in freestyle disco-dancing. Even though I had pizzazz and something about me, back in the 90s if you were chubby you weren’t a dancer.

“My sister wasn’t like that and she was really good – but what it gave me was this real ease on stage which was really useful for stand-up.”

The sisters were very close and Jayde was devastated when Jenna suffered a seizure out of the blue in 2005.

It was then revealed she had a brain tumour, and six years later she passed away aged 28.
