Amy Dowden and Strictly dance partner JB Gill set to appear on The One Show after very intimate rumba routine

The Strictly dance partners will join The One Show hosts on Wednesday evening to chat about being favourites to win the new series and that very intimate rumba routine. 

Amy Dowden and JLS singer JB Gill will chat on The One Show with Alex Jones and Clara Amfo on Wednesday (October 16). Comedian Lenny Henry is also set to appear on tonight's instalment of the show. 

Last week's episode of Strictly Come Dancing saw Amy Dowden, 34, and JB Gill, 37, perform the rumba dance routine. The pair wowed audiences with their sensual routine so much so that JB’s wife thought they kissed. 

However, judge Craig Revel Horwood felt there was no “connection” between them. Speaking on the spin-off show It Takes Two on Tuesday evening Amy said she “disagreed” with Craig “for the first time.” Since returning to the dancefloor this year following her battle with breast cancer Amy Dowden and JB have quickly become firm favourites to win the show. 

Amy was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May 2023 when she was 32 years-old. The professional dancer shared her experience in a BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me as well as launching a book ‘Dancing in the Rain’. 

The Strictly dance star recently shared an ‘appreciation post’ for her husband Ben Jones. Sharing a snap of the couple on Instagram Amy wrote: “My [heart emoji], my rock, my husband! Love you xxxxx just a little appreciation post, helping and guiding me back on the dance floor.”

Amy and Ben married in South Wales in July 2022 and in front of her Strictly co-stars. Amy found a lump in her breast whilst the couple were on their honeymoon in Grenada. Ben is also a professional dancer and the couple own the Art in Motion Dance Academy. 

The One Show is on BBC One weeknights from 7pm.
