BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans all say the same thing after major show shake-up

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing want one thing to "never again" happen to a professional dancer on the show.

Singer hasn't had the easiest time on . After gelling with his professional partner , who returned to the show for the first time since her battle with breast cancer, the JLS star was devastated when she was forced to leave the competition.

Amy, 34, was taken to hospital during filming after suffering a health scare - later revealing she had suffered a foot injury. She broke down in tears when she announced due to her injury but said she was hopeful of another comeback in the future.

After Amy’s departure JB, 37, was given a new partner Lauren Oakley, 33, who hadn’t been paired with a celebrity for this series, although she had taken part in group dances. Both Lauren and JB made sure to recognise Amy and all the hard work she’d already invested before embarking on their own journey together.

One performance in particular has had fans heaping praise on the new couple. Following their Samba to Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes, they earned a standing ovation with judge Anton Du Beke left blown away. "I am stunned, stunned," he declared. "Last week you did your couple’s choice and I said: 'Please can you bring this moving forward? Just bring it and stick it on another dance.' Man alive, did you bring it!"

JB and Lauren were over the moon with the reaction and fans at home shared the judges’ views, with some urging the show’s producers to "never again" leave Lauren without a partner because she’s just too good a dancer and trainer to be "benched". One said: "Lauren should never be benched ever again. She's bringing out the best in JB." Another agreed: "I love Lauren. Should have had a partner from the start. I don't think she's been involved in a dance I haven't loved."

A third wrote: "Lauren came to show them producers they made a big mistake benching her this year," as a fourth raved: "THIS IS JB BEST LATIN DANCE OF THE SERIES !!!! I KNOW LOSING AMY WAS VERY HARD FOR JB. BUT I HAPPY HE HAS SOMEONE LIKE LAUREN WHO CAN REALLY CONTINUE TO BRING THE BEST OUT OF HIM. AND FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW. HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN !!!!! AMAZING !!!!! 10 !!! 10 !!! 10 !!!!!."

The performance was also watched by big-hearted Amy who put her own feelings over having to quit the show aside to share her delight and pride over JB’s progress. She posted: "So proud! Told you from day one samba was going to be incredible, and it was! I know what you got coming and those 10s are going to be coming! Well done!" She added: "Gutted I can’t be there dancing with you but you and loz (Oakley) were fabulous!"
