The comedian, 37, who has teamed up with Karen Hauer, 40, in one of two same-sex couples this year, was called an “inspiration” by fans who were moved to tears.
Sporting black tights and matching black boots, Jayde had explained during a VT that “dancers come in all shapes and sizes” and she wanted to show it.

Karen added, “We need to celebrate all our bodies.”
