Strictly's JB Gill shared a steamy clip with his new dance partner Lauren Oakley as they attempted the viral Dancing With The Stars lift during rehearsals on Tuesday.

JLS star JB, 37, is now paired with Lauren, 33, after his original dance partner Amy Dowden was forced to pull out of the competition this week due to a foot injury. 

JB posted the clip as he tried the move with Lauren as they took some time off learning their routine for Saturday night's upcoming live show.

The move was first performed by this season's contestant Danny Amendola and his partner, Witney Carson, as he lifted her from the ground by the ankle.

The elaborate choreography has now gone viral on TikTok, with thousands of people trying it out for themselves at home - including last season's DWTS contestant Ariana Madix, Nick Cannon and Summer House stars Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke.

JB pulled Lauren up slowly by her leg as part of the move until they ended up in a close embrace. 

He shared the video to his Instagram and wrote in the caption: 'You know we had to try this challenge!'

It comes after a back and neck surgeon sounded the alarm on the dangerous move last week.

It could cause a whole host of problems for your neck and back, according to board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rahul Shah out of New Jersey's Premier Orthopaedic Associates. 

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Dr. Shah explained why the move is so dangerous, and warned that it could result in serious injury.

'In the process of going from a laying down to a standing position, muscles that folks don't typically use may be recruited, potentially resulting in injury,' Dr. Shah told DailyMail.com.

'Specifically, if one doesn't have enough core strength to allow the individual pulling on the leg, one may torque through the spine and cause injury,' he added.

JB is now permanently partnered with Lauren after Amy withdrew from the series.

The Welsh dancer, 34, who is understood to be in remission from breast cancer and has Crohn's disease, was forced to pull out of last weekend's show after collapsing backstage.

Fellow professional Lauren was drafted in as her replacement to perform with JLS star JB for Saturday's night's show.

It was confirmed on Monday's episode of It Takes Two that Amy will not return for the rest of the series, as she recovers from a 'foot injury'. 

A Strictly Come Dancing spokesperson said: 'Sadly, Amy Dowden MBE will not be partaking in the rest of the competition this year.

'Whilst Amy focuses on her recovery following a foot injury, fellow Professional Dancer, Lauren Oakley, will step in as JB's dance partner. 

'The health and wellbeing of everyone involved in Strictly are always the utmost priority. The whole Strictly family sends Amy love and well wishes.'

Amy was just 32 when, in May last year, she was given the earth-shattering news she had stage 3 breast cancer. 

At the time she was filming the BBC series Dare To Dance and said she realised 'something wasn't right'. She found a lump on her breast the day before she was going on a second honeymoon with her husband Benjamin.

Later that year, she was diagnosed again with another unspecified type of cancer and underwent a course of chemotherapy.

Amy returned to hospital in August 2024 for more tests where, finally, she was given the all-clear.

After a year of scandal, BBC bosses were delighted that Amy was able to return to the show following her cancer battle as she was paired with JB. 

But during the live Halloween special last month, she was admitted to hospital following a reported collapse at Elstree Studios - the BBC show's Hertfordshire base - after suffering a 'medical emergency' backstage.  

Moments before her hospital dash, Amy had performed the Foxtrot to Toploader hit Dancing In The Moonlight with her celebrity partner JB - but fans noted the dancer was partially seated during her latest performance.

On Sunday night's Strictly, viewers watched JB and his temporary partner Lauren Oakley avoid the dance off and make it through to another week.
