Strictly's Amy Dowden says 'heart was in mouth' after unexpected James Bye fall

Amy Dowden has admitted her "heart was in her mouth" during the latest live Strictly Come Dancing show. The Welsh professional, who is partnered with actor James Bye in the 2022 series, has revealed the pair took a tumble during the dress run, despite not falling once in training.

During the second live show, which aired on Saturday, October 1, Amy and James performed a Tango to Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran. The pair scored a total of 24 points and managed to avoid the dreaded dance-off, which saw Kaye Adams and Kai Widdrington sent home.

However, despite a successful performance, Amy has revealed their dress rehearsal didn't go as well. The dancer, from Caerphilly, shared a clip of James falling backward on her Instagram account.
