Strictly's Jayde Adams leaves viewers moved with 'body positive' Flashdance routine | The Sun

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have branded Jayde Adams and Karen Hauer's leotard-clad routine as "absolutely glorious" and a triumph for body positivity.

The BBC duo performed a lively Cha Cha Cha to Flashdance track What A Feeling to wrap Strictly Come Dancing's Movie Week.


The same-sex pairing wore matching black leotards which clung to their figures and black thigh-high boots.

Fans were quick to praise their sassy outfits as much as their routine.

Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse also thanked Jayde, 37, and Karen, 40, as she gushed dance was for every body type, and getting "everybody on the dancefloor."

One fan swiftly took to Twitter to simply put: "ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS."

Jayde has previously revealed the heart-breaking tragedy behind her doing the show.

The comedian has revealed she signed up in honour of her sister.

Jayde's sister Jenna tragically passed away 11 years ago from a brain tumour at the age of just 28.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "I think my sister's definitely orchestrating things for me. It all feels so serendipitous.

"It's such an emotional thing for me."

Jayde and Jenna took part in freestyle disco dancing from the ages of five to 17.

She recalled: "I really held Jenna back in freestyle disco-dancing. Even though I had pizzazz and something about me, back in the 90s if you were chubby you weren't a dancer.

"My sister wasn't like that and she was really good – but what it gave me was this real ease on stage which was really useful for stand-up."
