JB Gill shares behind-the-scenes training with Amy Dowden before she collapsed

JB Gill, 37, shared a video on social media of him and Amy Dowden practising their Foxtrot, as well as behind-the-scenes of them at the Pride of Britain Awards last week

Strictly Come Dancing star JB Gill has shared a new video giving fans a glimpse of behind-the-scenes training with Amy Dowden before she collapsed last week.

The singer, 37, shared clips of him and Amy practising their Foxtrot to Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight, which they danced during the Halloween special on the show last Saturday. However, later that night Amy, who returned to Strictly this year after undergoing treatment for breast cancer, fell ill and was rushed to hospital.

Earlier this week, the BBC said Amy will miss this week's show, and professional dancer Lauren Oakley stepped in to dance with JB Gill instead. In his latest video, shared on Instagram, JB Gill said he was "grateful" to be through another week "despite the ups and downs" while admitting that he has gone through a "bittersweet" week.

The video shows JB and Amy, alongside Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson, at the Pride of Britain Awards last week, as well as Amy running through a pumpkin patch, and the pair in the training room. There is also a clip showing a cake, wishing him and Amy good luck ahead of last week's show, and footage of the singer shortly before the live show.

Fans took to the comment section of his social media post to share their concerns for Amy, as one asked: "Can you let us know how Amy is?" Another said: "Hope and pray that Amy gets better very soon." One more person commented: "You will smash another week, no doubt. Also wishing Amy well."

A fan added: "This time must be heart wrenching for the wonderful Amy she has fought back from so much adversity to be a part of Strictly 24 it meant so much for her continued recovery. I think the Strictly machine is so much more and so much more demanding than us the viewers appreciate there are the group dances the costume and lighting run throughs appearing on it takes two plus other shows and the pre-recorded VTs this would exhaust even the fittest of people. I hope Amy rests and is back dancing in a weeks time. Amy we all want you back!"

It comes after JB admitted that dancing without Amy is "surreal" as he said: "We've been able to build an incredible rapport over the last six / seven weeks and it's been great going to the training room with her and working on the new routine and, you know, for me, learning different styles - whether it's a Ballroom style or new Latin style - and then watching that process sort of, as it builds, into the show that we put on, on the Saturday night. So, to not have her in rehearsals this week has been a bit surreal. But you know, the best thing […] is that she's taken some time to get better. We're obviously wishing her all the best as she recovers."

During his appearance on BBC Radio 2, the singer also spoke about working with Lauren. He said: "Well, of course everybody's different and especially when you're doing partner work - Amy's slightly shorter than Lauren, you know, there are little sort of bits and pieces that are different for each of them. So for me coming into that and not, obviously, being a professional, it's just about having to adapt to how they dance.

"The good thing about this week is that I'm doing my couples choice, so it's not so much Ballroom hold or Latin partner work and lifts and so on. It's gonna be a bit more, I guess, individual side by side, because it's icons week this weekend on the show and we're gonna have a chance to express ourselves together. So actually, I feel like it's gonna be a good way for me to approach obviously the changes that we've had this week."
