Jayde Adams hopes to leave ‘legacy’ following Strictly Come Dancing exit

Jayde Adams says she hopes her “resilience” against negative messages on social media will leave a “legacy,” following her departure from Strictly Come Dancing.

The comedian said that women on the popular dance competition “get it worse than the men” with regard to online messaging.

Adams, 37, and her professional dance partner Karen Hauer became the fourth couple to leave the show on Saturday, after a night which celebrated the BBC’s centenary.

The comedian said her participation in the show was “best thing I have ever done in my life” following her exit.
