Amber Davies has vowed to return to Strictly Come Dancing and offered to teach a masterclass. The former Love Island winner, 29, reached the final of last year's edition of the BBC Saturday night favourite alongside professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, but they lost out on lifting the Glitterball trophy to Lioness Karen Carney and Carlos Gu.
Amber has carved out a successful career in musical theatre with leading roles in Pretty Woman, Back to the Future, and is currently starring as Elle Woods in the UK tour of Legally Blonde since finding fame on reality TV almost a decade ago.
Whilst she has now ruled out any sort of mainstream comeback to television, she admitted she would like to return to Strictly in something of a teaching capacity.
Amber's Masterclass Offer
Speaking on a new edition of her Call To Stage podcast, she said: “There's no TV shows that I've got on my agenda. I wouldn't mind doing one-off things, like if Strictly got me back to do a masterclass in Musical Theatre week or a themed week.
“Or one-offs here and there. I’ve done Strictly, I’ve done Love Island, I’ve done Dancing on Ice, I don’t know if there’s anything more on the list.”
Amber's offer comes after several professionals like Karen Hauer, Nadiya Bychkova, Luba Mushtuk, and Michelle Tsiakkas were axed from the line-up ahead of the new series.
Dani Dyer's Return
The West End star was famously drafted in as a last-minute replacement for fellow Love Island winner Dani Dyer when she sustained an injury in rehearsals, but it was just announced that Dani will now be competing in this year's edition of the competition, alongside EastEnders icon Lacey Turner.
Amber, who has interviewed the likes of High School Musical star Corbin Bleu, as well as Frozen's Samantha Barks and TV legend Brian Conley on Call to Stage, treated fans to a solo edition of her podcast this week.
No Mainstream TV for Amber
Whilst fellow Love Islanders like Loose Women star Olivia Attwood, documentary maker Zara McDermott and I'm A Celebrity's Maura Higgins have all started up successful television presenting ventures, Amber insisted this was not for her.
She said: “A lot of people ask me if I want to be a presenter but I can’t read an autocue so probably no. A passion like that comes with age and maturity and I just want to be on stage if I’m gonna be brutally honest.
“When I do Lorraine and This Morning, I live, love laugh those moments but do I want to be on mainstream telly? Not right now.”
