Jayde Adams has admitted that being paired with a female professional on Strictly Come Dancing has given her a major advantage on the BBC show.
The Bristolian comedian, 37, was partnered with pro and fan favourite Karen Hauer, 40, during this evening's launch and has revealed that she told BBC bosses that she didn't mind being paired with either a male or female pro.
However, she has conceded that now she is excited to be paired with a woman as it enables her to do things she wouldn't have previously been able to.
