Strictly Come Dancing viewers were emotional as Jayde Adams broke down in tears on tonight's show.
The comedian performed an American Smooth alongside her partner, Karen Hauer, as they continued their bid to win this season's Glitterball. Jayde had a deep personal connection with the routine as it was dedicated to her late sister, Jenna.
Jayde was thrilled when the performance received a total of 31 from the judges. Claudia Winkleman interviewed the dancers after the routine and Jayde was in floods of tears when the host said her sister's name.

Jayde explained she was so emotional because the performance enabled her to fulfil a promise that she wouldn't let her sister be forgotten
She said: "Before she died she said to my mum 'do you think people will forget me' and you just said her name on this. It's just incredible. It's amazing and I feel so lucky that I get to do this because so many people lose people.
"Grief is so difficult and so personal and to be able to keep the promise that we made her that we wouldn't let people forget her is the most incredible gift anyone could give me or my family."
Viewers following the show on Twitter were moved by the tribute.
Victoria said: "Good grief, I’ve not cried at Strictly like that in years! Jayde is an absolute delight to watch"
Natalie added: "This broke me. Having been in the same situation as Jayde in losing a sibling, I totally resonated with her. You’ve done your sister proud."
SilentTheatre1 commented: "Wind beneath my Wings AND Jayde talking about her sister!! I'm a mess!"
Lynsey tweeted: "Jayde great big happy/sad tears from your dance. Thank you."
