Earlier this week, Jamie Miller became the first Welsh artist in 15 years to secure a number one single. Now, he has performed the song on UK TV for the first time on Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n

It came two days after the 29-year-old’s track Babydoll<\/a> surged to the summit of the singles chart, making him the first Welsh artist since 2011 to achieve the prestigious position, following Sian Evans’s feature on DJ Fresh’s Louder.<\/p>\n

The Cardiff-born singer began his career nearly a decade ago, aged 19, after placing third on the sixth series of The Voice UK.<\/p>\n

He has since became the first solo male Welsh artist in over four decades to top the singles chart, since Shakin’ Stevens’s legendary 1985 festive hit, Merry Christmas<\/a> Everyone.<\/p>\n

Jamie has now appeared on the Strictly Come Dancing results show tonight, Sunday, October 25, alongside Off Campus star Antonio Cipriano who features on the number one track.<\/p>\n

This marks their first UK television performance of the song of the moment. In addition to singing the song, the pair performed their viral Babydoll dance alongside four of the Strictly Pros. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n

Initially released in August, the track has gradually ascended the charts following the launch of a remixed version featuring Off Campus star Antonio Cipriano, reports Wales Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
