Strictly Come Dancing: Jayde Adams makes sister Jenna proud with tearful dance tribute

Tearful Strictly Come Dancing fans have commended Jayde Adams as "inspirational" after she shared an emotional tribute to her late sister. The Bristol comedian performed the American smooth on tonight's show (Saturday, October 15) and dedicated it to Jenna, who died 11 years ago.

In rehearsals she explained her song choice, Wind Beneath My Wings. She said: "Bette Midler was mine and my sister Jenna's most favourite musician when we were growing up. We used to have CDs of Bette all over the house and we'd make up dances to Bette in our parents' living room.

"The lyrics to the song really resonate. She [Jenna] was two years older than me, and she died 11 years ago."
