Jayde Adams and her partner Karen Hauer took to the Strictly dance floor tonight dancing to Wind Beneath my Wings by Better Midler.

The comedian gave a deeply emotional performance for which she received a standing ovation from Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas.

Adams, 37, explained the dance was in memory of her sister who died 11 years ago, as the pair had a shared love for Midler.

Mabuse said: “Thank you very very much for sharing your story and sharing your sister with us, I think she would be very proud at this moment. You changed the mood and it was beautiful,”

A noticeably emotional Ballas commented: “Jayde I feel like you’re my hero… You’ve represented this number for everyone who’s lost a loved one. Thank you for doing that.”

After the performance, Adams spoke of her performance becoming tearful. The pair received a score of 31 points.
