Professional dancer Lauren Oakley, who does not have a partner for this year’s BBC One show, has stepped in to perform with Gill.
JB Gill says training without his Strictly Come Dancing dance partner Amy Dowden has been “surreal”, as she skips this week following an illness.
While on the way to train with Oakley, Gill spoke to the BBC Radio 2 programme Scott Mills, presented by OJ Borg on Thursday, about how it has been without Dowden.
“It’s gonna be a bit more, I guess, individual side by side, because it’s icons week this week on the show and we’re gonna have a chance to express ourselves together. “She is delighted that fellow professional dancer Lauren Oakley is able to step in for rehearsals and to perform in Saturday’s show for JB Gill’s couple’s choice dance.Dowden’s management company said on Instagram she “was discharged from hospital the following day and is now resting” and would be supporting Gill and Oakley.
