"She is absolutely pinching herself that she is there. It’s an emotional time for her.” The sisters used to perform in disco dance competitions together when they were younger, and speaking about appearing on the show, Jayde said she’s keeping a promise she made to Jenna to keep her memory alive.
She added that her sister would be both “proud” and “jealous” of her Strictly stint if she was here. Jayde explained: “Jenna said to my mum before she died, ‘Do you think people will forget me?’ "And I get to dance for her on television. I get to live her memory in this way.
She’ll be proud, but very jealous.” It comes after Jayde was left speechless after she received a standing ovation for her first ever dance on the BBC show. Jayde was stunned before making her way over to the judges' table and presenter Tess Daly, before the host asked: "Oh my goodness. Okay Jayde, you just danced on Strictly and got a standing ovation.
