Why Amber Davies Was Chosen
When Dani Dyer was forced to exit Strictly due to a broken ankle, producers turned to another reality‑TV star who already knows the spotlight: Amber Davies. Amber won Love Island in 2022 and built a sizable fan base thanks to her sunny personality and on‑screen charisma. The network felt her familiarity with live‑television pressure would help her adapt quickly to the rigors of ballroom dancing.
Amber herself has been vocal about her love for Strictly. In a recent interview she recalled watching the show with her family as a kid and dreaming of stepping onto the stage. Her excitement is palpable, and she’s already outlined a plan to train hard, study choreography, and bring a fresh energy to the competition.
What Amber Brings to the Dance Floor
Beyond name recognition, Amber’s background offers a few tangible benefits. She’s comfortable performing in front of cameras, can handle the inevitable media scrutiny, and has experience learning choreography quickly for reality‑show challenges. Moreover, her rapport with fellow contestants could foster a supportive atmosphere during rehearsals.
Industry insiders suggest that her involvement may also boost viewership among younger audiences who followed her Love Island journey. Social‑media metrics show a spike in Amber‑related hashtags whenever she appears on television, indicating strong fan engagement.
- Proven track record of handling live‑TV pressure.

Amber also took a moment to send well‑wishes to Dani, hoping for a speedy recovery and expressing a desire to make Dyer proud on the dance floor. While the replacement may have been unexpected, many fans are already eager to see how Amber translates her reality‑TV charm into graceful pirouettes and dramatic lifts.
