Amber Davies Fights to Stay on Strictly After Viewer Backlash
Amber Davies faced a 'gut-wrenching' dance off on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, with critics questioning her place in the competition given her West End experience. Despite scoring high with judges, viewers failed to keep her safe, leading to a tense dance off against Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Davies and partner Nikita Kuzmin scored an impressive 33 for their Cha Cha Cha to Ariana Grande's 'Break Free', while Hasselbaink and Lauren Oakley scored 30 for their American Smooth to Prince's 'Purple Rain'. However, it was the viewers' votes that mattered most, and Davies found herself in the dance off for the first time.
The judges unanimously voted to keep Davies in the competition, praising her performance. Davies herself admitted to feeling like 'trash' after the intense dance off, but remains determined. She has been defending her place on the show, stating she has worked hard to make a name for herself in musical theatre and is treating every week as her last due to the backlash against her dance background.
Amber Davies' future on Strictly Come Dancing remains uncertain due to viewer criticism about her dance experience. Despite scoring high with judges and enjoying her time on the show, she could be sent home soon if viewers continue to fail to vote for her.
