The former JLS star has come under fire after his first performance with Amy Dowden as critiques claim he has an unfair advantage with former boyband dance experience
Strictly star JB Gill has defended his position after facing criticism following his first performance with professional dancer Amy Dowden on the popular BBC One show. The programme, which features a diverse range of celebrities, has sparked debate about whether those with previous dance experience should be allowed to participate. As a former member of X Factor boyband JLS, JB's extensive dance background has surprised fans and drawn criticism, along with Love Island star Tasha Ghouri.
' Defending her dance partner, Amy said: 'You know I think it says everything, you know Ashton did it and he didn't go all the way to the final and he's got more dance experience than you,' with approval towards JB, reports the Express . Discussing JB's limited dance background, Amy also noted: 'He got to week seven, so I always say 'Yes he holds a microphone and he'd dance with the boys in music videos'.
