Strictly’s Jayde Adams left speechless after getting standing ovation for first dance

2022-09-24

Jayde Adams was left speechless after she received a standing ovation for her first ever dance on Strictly Come Dancing.

The comedian and actress put her all into her debut dance, a samba to Christina Aguilera's Dirrty, and received a big response from the audience because of it – with the crowd taking to their feet and cheering loudly.

Jayde, 37, appeared visibly stunned by the crowd's reaction, before making her way over to the judges' table and presenter Tess Daly.

Tess said: "Oh my goodness. Okay Jayde, you just danced on Strictly and got a standing ovation. The judges are about to comment, do I need to pinch you?"

Jayde, still panting from the dance, said: "Thank you, Tess."

Tess then pinched her arm and said: "It's real, it's real! Well done darling, it was amazing!"

The judges were convinced too, giving her an overall score of 23 – a more than decent score for her first ever dance.

It wasn't just the crowd in the ballroom that were excited either, with viewers at home also sharing their love for Jayde and her partner, Karen Hauer.

Posting to Twitter, one viewer said: "I was proper applauding Jayde. Looked stunning, confidence oozing, and put everything into that #Strictly".

Another wrote: "#Jayde sold the heck out of that dance. Y’know what? My money’s on her to go far."

Viewers all picked up on her enjoying dancing on the show, which made her dance stand out and give her extra energy.

One person said: "LOVED Jayde's attitude and energy. She may not have got all of the steps right but she nailed the performance part. Plus you can see she was enjoying herself."

Another bluntly wrote: "If Jayde and Karen don't win #Strictly, I will riot".

Jayde has been very vocal about how much she has been looking forward to her time on the show. Speaking on the launch show on Friday, she confessed: “I feel like it’s not real, I feel like someone made a Strictly themed birthday party and I’m in the middle of it!”

She went on to say of her partner: “Karen IS Strictly”.

Karen, too, seemed to be chuffed: “I’m absolutely excited, I have so many ideas, too many ideas, this is going to be a golden moment for me.”

Talking about being the BBC One show's second same-sex pairing after Richie Anderson was paired with Giovanni Pernice, Jayde told OK! and other press: "I think my partnership with Karen is more about sisterhood and if you're in the dance world, which I was as a child, the sort of all-girl and all-male partnerships is quite commonplace.

"Obviously, it's a new thing in these dance shows. You know, the one that's in Australia and the one that's in America, but I think the world is changing and to me it just doesn't seem like anything that is abnormal. It seems like a completely natural thing."
