West End sensation and former Love Island winner Amber Davies has finally broken her silence on the persistent romance rumours linking her to Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin. The theatre star addressed the speculation while her boyfriend, Ben Joyce, appeared to offer a subtle reaction to the swirling gossip.
Davies, who recently dazzled audiences in the West End production of Bring It On: The Musical, found herself at the centre of dating rumours after being spotted getting cosy with the Ukrainian dancer. The pair were photographed looking particularly close during various public appearances, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation.
Ben Joyce's Telling Reaction
While Davies has maintained her relationship with boyfriend Ben Joyce throughout the rumours, observers noted the theatre star's interesting response to the speculation. Sources close to the couple suggest Joyce has been "supportive but cautious" about the increased media attention surrounding his girlfriend's friendship with the Strictly professional.
"Ben knows it's just industry gossip," an insider revealed. "He's been nothing but supportive of Amber's career and friendships within the theatre and dance world."
From Reality TV to West End Stardom
Since winning Love Island in 2017 alongside Kem Cetinay, Davies has successfully transitioned from reality television to establishing herself as a serious West End performer. Her starring role in Bring It On: The Musical has earned critical acclaim, proving her talents extend far beyond the reality TV sphere that first made her famous.
Meanwhile, Nikita Kuzmin continues to be one of Strictly Come Dancing's most popular professionals, known for his incredible dance skills and charming personality that has won him a dedicated fanbase.
Setting the Record Straight
In her first public comments about the rumours, Davies emphasised the importance of maintaining professional relationships in the entertainment industry without unnecessary speculation. "Theatre and dance are collaborative arts," she explained. "Close friendships often develop naturally when you're working creatively with someone."
The Welsh beauty also took the opportunity to praise both men in her life, describing Joyce as "incredibly understanding" and Kuzmin as "a wonderful dance partner and friend."
As the new theatre season continues, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how these relationships evolve both on and off stage.
