It seems being around music superstar JB Gill is getting “hard” for Strictly professional Lauren Oakley.
The JLS member’s time in the dance competition hasn’t been plain sailing as he’s had to swap partners.
Initially partnered with Amy Dowden, JB had a partner change mid-way through the competition. He is now dancing with Lauren after Amy suffered a foot injury.
Amy was “devastated” when she had to step down from the show. This year marked her return after her cancer battle in 2023.

JB and Amy were a dream team in the competition, gaining a large amount of support from fans. But when she stepped down, professional Lauren was given the job of taking her place.
While many would think the hardest part about joining late in the game would be trying to learn your dance partner’s skillset so quickly, this wasn’t the case for Lauren.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) this week, Lauren shared the most difficult thing about working with JB.
She wrote: “It’s just SO HARD being in a room with JB and suppressing the constant need to break out in a JLS song.”
Fans loved hearing this, and took to the responses to share just how relatable they found her.
