The Strictly stars were in full force on Saturday as they headed to the studio ahead of the live match.
Lauren Oakley – who will be JB Gill’s temporary partner after Amy Dowden was forced to pull out due to her health problems – headed to the studios in gray trousers and a gray cropped jumper.
The professional dancer wore a pair of large hoop earrings and wrapped in a puffer jacket to ward off the winter chill.
JB’s professional partner Amy, 34, was rushed to hospital during last week’s live show after collapsing backstage.
As she recovers, the BBC announced that Lauren would step in for Amy and dance with the JLS star, 37.

Hours before JLS singer JB, 37, and choreographer Lauren, 33, hit the dance floor, Amy — who is believed to be in remission after battling breast cancer and Crohn’s disease — reached out to the pair with a heartfelt statement of support.

Amy posted a photo of JB and Lauren to her Instagram ahead of the show, saying, “I definitely wish this one the best of luck tonight! I’m going to be your biggest cheerleader!’
BBC bosses have said they are ‘hopeful’ Amy will return next week.

His health kick started after his weight jumped to almost 24 stone and he started having ‘problems washing and going up stairs’.
He told The Mail: “I feel more confident. Looking in the mirror all day long is a bit strange to me, because I always try to avoid the mirror.
‘But I really enjoy it. I haven’t seen my neck in a long time. I feel like a giraffe!’
Wynne put his weight loss down to a calorie-restricted diet, long walks with his new love, events manager Liz Brookes, 50, and the physical demands of Strictly.
Jamie – who quashed romance rumors with his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas last month when he was spotted dining with a mystery blonde – braved the cold in gray shorts and a blue fleece as he headed to the studio.
