Strictly Pro Reveals Surprising Insight about Amber Davies
Brendan Cole, a former professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, has recently shared some surprising insights about Amber Davies. The popular BBC program returned to the airwaves for its new season, featuring fifteen celebrities showcasing their dance skills.
Amber Davies Joins the Competition
Amber Davies replaced Dani Dyer, who was unable to perform due to an ankle injury sustained during rehearsals. This last-minute change saw Amber, a reality television star from Love Island, stepping onto the dance floor just before the opening live show. In less than 24 hours of rehearsal, Amber and her partner, Nikita Kuzmin, performed a Waltz to Adele’s “When We Were Young.” Their performance scored an impressive 27 points, placing them in third position on the leaderboard.
Brendan Cole’s Concerns
Despite Amber’s strong start, Brendan Cole remains skeptical about her chances of winning the coveted Glitterball Trophy. In an interview with Sky Vegas, he remarked that her background as a Love Island contestant could hinder her appeal compared to other contestants, particularly Karen Carney, a former footballer. Brendan expressed admiration for Karen’s likeability and relatability, saying, “She’s not a trained dancer, but clearly, she’s had some sort of dance training at some point.” He emphasized the inspirational impact she could have on young girls.
- Amber’s score: 27 points
- Ranking: 3rd on the leaderboard
- Brendan’s performance history: Danced on Strictly from 2004 to 2017
- Next dance style: Latin, performing a Samba to “Bam Bam”
The Future of Amber Davies on Strictly
Brendan acknowledged Amber’s talent, stating, “She’s going to be brilliant.” He noted her ability to produce a captivating performance despite minimal training time. “There was a moment when she extended her arms as she leaned back, and you thought, ‘Okay, that’s someone who’s danced before’,” he added. This weekend, viewers can expect to see Amber and Nikita perform a Samba, further showcasing her skills on the show.
Strictly Come Dancing fans will be eager to see how Amber Davies progresses in the competition. Tune in to the next episode to witness her evolution on the dance floor.
