The professional dancer, who only returned to the show full this year after battling cancer, was absent from the results show on Sunday night after she reportedly 'collapsed' after the live show on Saturday night.

Minutes into the results show, Tess Daly paused to announce that Amy would not be there and JLS star JB Gill was forced to stand solo.

At the time, she told the audience: "Before we get started, Amy is unable to be with us for tonight's show," and quickly moved on.
