Strictly's Jayde Adams told fans she had the time of her life competing in the BBC dance show as she shared her next career moves after being eliminated from the contest on Sunday night (October 23).
Jayde and her professional dance partner Karen Hauer were sent home after landing in the bottom two, with CBBC star Molly Rainford and her dance partner Carlos Gu. But all four judges - Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse and head judge Shirley Ballas - opted to save Molly.
Sharing a photo of herself and Karen mid-dance, Jayde told fans 'don't worry about me' in an Instagram post on Sunday night. She also revealed she had a packed work schedule to look forward to, including a new ITV2 series which begins filming in the new year.
