BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans make JB Gill demand and say 'he has to' in final

Strictly Come Dancing fans have issued a clear demand as JB Gill prepares to take part in the final. The JLS star has made it to the end of the competition alongside both Amy Dowden and Lauren Oakley.

In the final of the BBC One dance contest, JB will perform with Lauren after she took over the role of his professional dance partner following Amy's heartbreaking early exit due to injury in early November.

In a new interview with Hits Radio, Lauren revealed she's never heard him say it in person and he told how he'd said to bandmate Aston that he'd do it if he got to the final. And Lauren was thrilled when he said the famous line in his cheery way right in front of her own eyes.
