Strictly's Jayde Adams says women on the show 'get it in the neck' following exit

Jayde Adams has said that Strictly Come Dancing is "truly the greatest entertainment show in the UK" after she became the fourth celebrity to be voted off by the dance show last weekend. But, although gutted to be booted off following a dance-off with CBBC star Molly Rainford, who the judges unanimously chose to save, the actress and comedian has told fans 'not to worry' about her, while saying that the women who appear on the show 'get it worse than men.'

Speaking on Strictly's It Takes Two, which aired on Monday, October 24, Jayde told co-host Rylan Clarke: "It was amazing getting to do Victoria Wood. She's been missed since 2016 and I just got to do that in the BBC, it's incredible. She's a massive icon, I'm only sorry that it just wasn't enough and I'm sorry I went out on her."

She also used the platform to speak of the comments she had received on social media from being on the show, and said: "I will say, women on this show get it in the neck, whether it's me whether it's Karen, whether it's Shirley, the women get it worse than the men. And I just hope that my resilience is going to change things in the future."
