Before the pair took to the dancefloor for their American Smooth, a clip from training showed Jayde become tearful as she told Karen how much the song, made famous by Bette Midler, means to her. Jayde and her sister Jenna would dance together to songs by Bette, their musical icon.
"I didn't just lose a sister, I lost a best friend," said Jayde. "I lost my dance partner. Her telling me to make people laugh was my calling." Jenna was only 23 when she was diagnosed with a high grade brain tumour and Jayde was two years younger.
