JB Gill reckons he has both of his professional dance partners to thank for getting him to the Strictly final.
The JLS singer admits that Amy Dowden having to pull out due to injury last month was "a curveball" - but Lauren Oakley picked up where Amy left off.
JB, 38, is extremely grateful to Brummie pro Lauren, 33, for stepping in and now, as he competes for the Glitterball trophy, he vowed to perform for all three of them.
He said: "Amy has been a huge support from day one and now she's massively in our corner, wanting us to do well.
"She's very much a part of the partnership and has been just as valuable to me as Lauren has, so it's been great to have her support for that whole process.
JB said he was thrilled to initially be partnered with Welsh pro Amy 34, who returned to the show following a year off due to breast cancer treatment.
He added: "Amy's been through a lot. For her to be on the show was incredible and, of course, it was an honour for me to be her partner for the start of the series.
"But due to her health, she wasn't able to continue.
"It was a bit of a surprise, to behonest. It was a bit of a shock.
