Strictly Come Dancing contestant JB Gill has thanked supporters after his dance partner Amy Dowden was rushed to hospital after Saturday’s show.
Dowden, 34, did not appear on Sunday’s pre-recorded results show and Gill, 37, stood alone to find out whether he would face the dance-off.
The couple avoided the bottom two after their Halloween week foxtrot to Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader.
Dowden, from Caerphilly in South Wales, made a full return to the professional line-up this year after she underwent treatment for breast cancer.
It was announced the dancer, who also has Crohn’s disease, would return to the series, having had a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
She was partnered with JLS singer Gill and the pairing has now reached the final 10.
Sky News understands fellow professional Lauren Oakley will be stepping in for Dowden for Monday’s rehearsals as she recovers.
In a statement on Instagram, Gill said: “On behalf of both @amy_dowden and I, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for voting for us and wishing us well.
“We absolutely loved our performance on Saturday night and are so grateful to be through to another week on @bbcstrictly Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support.”
A number of Strictly professional dancers commented showing their support, including Dianne Buswell, Johannes Radebe, Jowita Przystal and Nancy Xu.
