JB Gill has issued an update after his professional partner Amy Dowden was taken to hospital following a health scare during the Strictly Come Dancing live show on Saturday (October 26). Following their foxtrot to Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader in Halloween special of the BBC dance contest, which saw the couple awarded a score of 32 from the judges, the Welsh dancer collapsed backstage and was then taken to Barnet Hospital as a “precaution”. Amy, 34, was then absent from Sunday's results show (October 27), which is filmed the night before after the live broadcast, as it was revealed that her and JB had made it through to week seven of the competition.
