When asked by host Tess Daly how she was feeling about receiving a standing ovation for her performance, she put her hand to her face and looked down without being able to say a word.
After receiving her score of 23 out of 40 from the judges, Jayde struggled to hide her emotions as she paid tribute to Karen.
Nothing her fellow celebrities who cheered as she received her score, Jayde said: 'I love you all so much! If I think about it too much I am going to cry.'
Turning to Karen, she added: 'We get to do this once a week, and you'll say it with your partners as well. It's all about you, baby.
'This Strictly experience is going to be through you and I'm so proud. It's been a great time rehearsing with her, it has been amazing.'

The comedian, 37, told how it was 'such an emotional thing for her' to take part in the BBC competition to honour her sibling - who studied contemporary dance at university.

Admitting she didn't specifically ask for a male or female dance partner, Jayde said she was open to be put in a mixed or same sex couple by show bosses.
In awe: Motsi Mabuse, who stood after Jayde's performance alongside Shirley Ballas, excitedly claimed: 'Samba you're in trouble, you've never met this woman!'
With some experience dancing alongside a woman as a competitive disco dancer - which she competed with her late sister Jenna - the comedian couldn't be happier with the pairing, describing the partnership with Karen as a sense of 'sisterhood'.
She told MailOnline and other publications: 'I think my partnership with Karen is more about sisterhood. And if you're in the dance world, which I was as a child, the
