Jaime Winstone Follows Ray Winstone Advice on Strictly Come Dancing

Jaime Winstone is continuing her Strictly Come Dancing journey after receiving support from her father Ray Winstone, who has been advising her during the BBC One competition. The actress and her partner Carlos Gu survived a dance-off and are preparing for the next stage of the show.

According to The Sun, Jaime said her father has become deeply involved in following her performances and offered encouragement after the dance-off. She described him as a "fifth judge" while discussing his reaction to her progress.

"Thankfully, I've got the support around me that I need." said Jaime Winstone.

Jaime said she spoke with Ray after the show while he was on set, and the actor has been closely following the competition. She added that he supports her partnership with Carlos Gu and understands the demands of the program.

"I had a great phone call with him after the show on Saturday, from set - Dad is loving it. He's suddenly a fifth judge." said Jaime Winstone.

"He just said, 'Pick yourself up, kid, and crack on', and that's what I've got to do." said Jaime Winstone.

Jaime also said her mother reacted emotionally to her performance, while she continued to focus on improving after the difficult week.

"And my mum was screaming in the background, crying, 'You're amazing!'" said Jaime Winstone.

The actress acknowledged that being placed in the dance-off was difficult after weeks of training, but she said the experience helped her return to the routine and approach the competition with renewed determination.

"It is a blow when you've worked so hard. It's been an emotional weekend and a hard couple of days." said Jaime Winstone.

"There's been quite a lot of tears. It's been very emotional because you're just working so hard." said Jaime Winstone.

Jaime said she remains focused on progressing in the competition and hopes to reach future milestones on Strictly Come Dancing, including performing in Blackpool with the support of her family and friends.

"It's not how you fall, it's how you get up." said Jaime Winstone.

"I'm still here and fighting fit. I'm raring to go and I'm actually glad we got to do a dance-off because I got to do the routine again and I got to do it correctly. That's the silver lining here." said Jaime Winstone.

She also spoke about the personal meaning of performing on the show and seeing her son watch her pursue a long-held ambition.

"When my little boy sees me dance, I'm going to have to get a grip on the emotions on that, because it's a dream." said Jaime Winstone.

"It's been a dream of mine since I was a little girl to dance with a professional and to see my son watch Mummy live out a dream. It's on the bucket list." said Jaime Winstone.
