Ahead of her American Smooth, the comedian tearfully shared that the dance would be dedicated to her late sister, who she used to dance with when they were both younger. Speaking to her partner Karen Hauer in a heartbreaking VT, Jayde shared she had wanted to be in a same-sex partnership so that she was able to do lifts, fearing the male pros wouldn't be able to lift her.

Elsewhere on the show, Will Mellor endured a "bad day" as he tackled a tricky rumba while fighting the flu.
Speaking to fans about his illness, he said; " "I want to apologise for the way I sound, I've not been well at all this week.
"I went into training on Monday and I just had to go home because I was feeling poorly and I've been laid up ever since. I've got a bug, a virus, whatever you want to call it."
