Just minutes after their performance though, professional dancer Amy is understood to have fallen ill. It was confirmed that an ambulance was called as a "precaution" and it's since been shared that she's "feeling much better".
Her dance partner JB - best known for having been a member of the group JLS - spoke about Amy, who was absent from the result's show, after it was revealed that they had avoided this week's dance off. Asked by host Claudia Winkleman how happy, on behalf of them both, he was feeling about not being in the bottom two, JB said: "Honestly, I'm beside myself and Amy of course is gonna be so happy that we're through to icons week. It's an amazing feeling." JB went on to reveal that he'll be performing a medley next week as a couple's choice, including Bruno Mars' song Treasure.
JB later issued a message to fans on Instagram alongside photos from Halloween week. He wrote in the post on Sunday night following the results show: "On behalf of both @amy_dowden and I, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for voting for us and wishing us well. We absolutely loved our performance on Saturday night and are SO grateful to be through to another week on @bbcstrictly Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support."

It was announced on Sunday morning, ahead of this week's results show airing, that Amy had been feeling "unwell" and received medical attention on Saturday. A spokesperson for her shared: "Amy was feeling unwell and so an ambulance was called as a precaution. She is feeling much better and would like to thank the Strictly family for their love and concern. We request Amy's privacy in matters of health is kindly respected."
Additionally, as previously reported, an East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson previously said: "We were called just after 9pm on Saturday to attend a medical emergency at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. An ambulance was sent to the scene. One patient, an adult female, was transported to Barnet Hospital for further care."
