Jayde Adams was on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour programme on Thursday 20 October, along with Strictly Come Dancing partner Karen Hauer. The pair were at dance rehearsals during the interview and reflected on their emotional performance last Saturday, in memory of Jayde's late sister.
The Bristolian comedian has been praised for opening up about heartache and grief following the death of her sister, Jenna, who died in 2011. Jayde said her decision to compete on Strictly was connected with her sister's memory, as the pair spent much of their younger years dancing together.
On Woman's Hour Jayde said she couldn't believe she was hearing her sister's name said aloud on the programme and expressed her emotions during her journeys. She also said on the radio show that she was "overwhelmed" by the heart-felt responses following the pair's routine Saturday night.
