Strictly's JB Gill addresses future on show as fans blown away by Amy Dowden 'replacement'

Strictly Come Dancing fans have aired their concern for Amy Dowden after the pro was forced to miss the results show due to "unforeseen circumstances".

Her absence comes after Amy fell poorly following her Halloween performance with JB Gill on Saturday night. A representative for Amy stated: "Amy was feeling unwell, so an ambulance was called as a precaution.

"She is feeling much better and would like to thank the Strictly family for their love and concern. We request Amy's privacy in matters of health is kindly respected."

A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service confirmed in a statement: "We were called just after 9pm on Saturday to attend a medical emergency at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.

"An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, and one patient, an adult female, was taken to Barnet Hospital for further care."

Tess Daly briefly addressed Amy's absence during the show and before she revealed which celebrities would be in the dance-off.

She said: "Before we get started, Amy is unable to be with us for tonight's show."

JB Gill, who appeared on the results show alone, seemed to confirm his future in the competition. He told Claudia Winkleman: "Honestly, I am beside myself, and Amy is, of course, going to be so happy (about not being in the bottom two) that we are through to icons week. It's an amazing feeling."

However, as the show went on without Amy, fans took to social media to air their concerns and wish the dancer well. Many also praised dancer Lauren Oakley for stepping in to replace Amy in the professional dancer's Halloween performance. along with Carlos Gu.

One fan said: "Hoping Amy Dowden is doing ok & wishing her well #StrictlyComeDancing #strictly."

Another echoed: "I hope Amy is ok. Given her recent recovery I can’t help but worry for her. Sending love and hope she’ll be back soon. #Strictly."

A third pointed out: "Hang on, Lauren only had 20 minutes to learn that, as an Amy replacement?? Wow, you would not have known #Strictly."

Someone else agreed: "Shoutout to the amazing Lauren, who learned this routine in 20 mins because she stepped in to replace Amy!! #Strictly."

"I feel so bad for JB stood on his own!!! Hope Amy gets well soon and they both get back on that dance floor next week #strictly," another stated.

Amy and JB, who were dressed as Scarecrows for Halloween week, received 32 points from the judges for their Foxtrot.

Last weekend, Amy and JB landed in the dance-off but were saved by the judges, meaning Paul Merson was sent home.
