Judi Love has spoken about fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestants Adam Peaty and Katya Jones following their saucy performance.

She said: “What people need to understand, when you’re a dancer you are a performer. At the end, people don’t realise you have to hold a pose.

“They’re amazing dancers, amazing performers. That’s what I saw, a performance.”

Judi went on to say that public comments do “make an effect on people”.

Meanwhile, Judi has updated her Instagram followers after revealing her daughter has been unwell.

Nonetheless, Judi still managed to make it to appear Loose Women this afternoon.

Judi, 41, certainly seems to have had a very hectic few days. She survived the Strictly dance off against Greg Wise yesterday (Sunday October 17).

She and dance partner Graziano di Prima had been in the bottom two after viewers’ votes were counted.

But this morning (Monday October 18), her daughter was foremost in her mind.

The worried star revealed in an Instagram Story: “My daughter’s not feeling well.”

“Quickly got to get her back sorted,” a concerned Judi winced, having noted she was supposed to be on her way to the Loose Women studio.

‘One of those days’

Mum-of-two Judi later indicated her daughter’s condition has improved.

Wearing a visor, she sighed: “Oh gosh, when you know it is going to be one of those days.”

She continued: “Right, chiropractor went well. She’s feeling much better.
