Strictly's JB Gill has one clothing item he 'hates' on women

Strictly Come Dancing hopeful JB Gill doesn't want Amy Dowden baring her body in a boob tube - that's if his past comment about the fashion item is anything to go by.

"I hate them. It's not flattering," he once declared, back in his JLS days, in an interview with Glamour magazine. He added: "I am one to celebrate a woman's shape and her curves, but when you wear a boob tube it inhibits them.

"It cuts in, it makes the body not look as curvaceous as it should, and it just impedes the womanly shape." It's more likely that his partner will don a glitzy ballgown or a glittery fringed costume with sequins or Swarovki crystals, as the dance competition heats up following Saturday's first round of live shows.

Meanwhile, JB and Amy shimmied their way to success as they topped the leaderboard, decided by judges' scores, for their waltz to Leo Sayer's 'I Need You'. At the weekend, Shirley Ballas praised: "Amy, you're home where you belong and I have to say that choreography was absolutely outstanding."

She also had equally strong words in support of JB, telling him: "You, sir, are an absolute diamond and this is going to be an absolute epic partnership." True to her words, some fans were in tears as they witnessed the pair's emotional performance.

JB took to Instagram afterwards to reveal he was "still blown away by the response and support for #TeamJAmy".

He confessed: "We absolutely loved being on that floor, bringing to life what we've been working so hard for in the training studio!"

Amy has chimed in too, revealing that she's "so happy she could burst".

This is an especially poignant season for her, as it marks her first time back on the dancefloor after skipping a year on the show due to gruelling chemo and radiotherapy for cancer.

Amy has now beaten the disease and is dancing better than ever.

She had the full support of Motsi Mabuse who snapped her fingers in Craig Revel Horwood's face and urged him to "pay attention" after she took offence to his criticism of the pair's dance.

Craig was extremely vocal in his criticism on Saturday, with multiple acts getting the thumbs down from him, but Motsi wasn't about to let him call a hand placement "extremely ugly".

"Save it for later. Give us space for joy!" she declared in no uncertain terms, before telling the dance couple that she "absolutely loved" their routine.
