BBC Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba 'worried' about JB Gill's dance moves

Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba admitted he's 'worried' current contestant JB Gill will 'outdo his Dick Van Dyke'.

Television presenter Ore, known for CBBC and Newsround, won the BBC talent contest in 2016. During his time on the show he performed a Vienesse waltz, a dance which featured in the 1964 musical Mary Poppins, starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

Boyband star JB, known for JLS, will be performing the Viennese waltz on the show this weekend as part of Musicals Week, to the sound of Let's Go Fly A Kite, from the movie. After watching a rehearsel of the dance on companion show It Takes Two, Ore had nothing but praise for JB and his dance partner Lauren

Ore said: "The partnership of Lauren and JB I think is so standout. You take it for granted watching these shows that these pros are just unreal. She's come in for Amy with no time at all and it's seamless. So, more of that chemistry. It's swing and sway with Vienesse Waltz - I mean, who am I [to say]?

"They're doing the number made famous in Mary Poppins. I'm just worried that JB is going to outdo my Dick Van Dyke. I don't know why I am mentioning it but I've got a little known musical called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang next year. JB, if you're going to outdo me..."

Presenter Fleur interjected: "He's coming for your job!" Ore said: "He's going to be amazing, I love it."
