Following their performance, the judges lavished compliments on Jamie, with Anton Du Beke exclaiming: "You know, you really are a super super dancer. I think you could be one of the favourites to lift the trophy to be quite honest with you, I think you are an exceptional talent." Motsi Mabuse concurred with Anton, adding: "Yes, Anton, I think the Glitterball is quite close to you!" The judges' remarks hinted at Jamie being a strong contender for the title, prompting host Tess Daly to comment: "Thank you judges.
Two out of four mentioned the Glitterball...
that's big news!", reports the Mirror . Reacting to the judges' glowing comments, Jamie modestly stated: "It's a bit too early to be mentioning the Glitterball..
