However, following abuse from trolls, Jayde issued a message on Instagram today (October 23).

She posted a side by side image showing Uncle Fester from The Addams Family and then a shot of her smiling on Strictly last night.

Jayde wrote: “Internet: you’ll never be funnier about the way I look than me.

“So you can all stop being little sociopaths now and stop tiring me with your poorly written and terribly hack abuse #strictly #debbie.”

Another commented: “Haters and just jealous nobodies who have the urge to bring people down to their level rise above it you are amazing.”

A third posted: “You are absolutely sensational.”

Meanwhile, Jayde received some mixed comments from the Strictly judges last night.

Following the performance, Shirley Ballas told Jayde: “First of all, it was so entertaining. I think everybody enjoyed that.”

However, Craig Revel Horwood said: “I think you could have done a lot more with it.

What did the Strictly judges say?

“It wasn’t very clean. You need double that amount of energy in this dance to keep it solid. For me, it wasn’t great. Sorry.”

Meanwhile, Anton Du Beke added: “Never once did you come out of character. It was such a brilliantly performed number.”

Motsi Mabuse said: “I think from the performance, you are probably one of the best we have. I just think the dancing needs to develop more.”

She added: “Concentrate a little bit more on your dancing and your performance comes automatically.”

Despite the judges’ criticism, Jayde still received decent marks as she and Karen bagged 28 points out of 40.

The Strictly results show airs on BBC One, tonight, from 6:45pm.
