In a startlingly candid revelation, Dancing On Ice sensation Amber Davies has lifted the lid on the intensely close bond she shares with her professional partner, Simon Senecal, confessing it feels like a 'security blanket' both on and off the rink.
The former Love Island winner, who is currently dazzling judges and audiences alike on the hit ITV show, didn't hold back when discussing the unique intimacy of their partnership. She described a connection that transcends the typical celebrity-pro dynamic, suggesting something far deeper is at play.
More Than Just A Dance Partnership
Davies, 27, explained that the relentless training schedule and immense pressure of the competition have forged an unbreakable alliance. 'You spend six days a week with this person,' she revealed. 'You're in each other's pockets, you're touching each other, you're holding each other.'
This physical and emotional proximity has created a powerful sense of trust and safety. 'It's like a security blanket,' she confessed, highlighting how Senecal's presence is a constant source of comfort amidst the high-stakes environment of live television.
A Bond Built On Trust & Vulnerability
The Welsh actress and musical theatre star detailed the vulnerability inherent in their routine, which involves being lifted, thrown, and supported in ways that demand absolute faith in her partner. 'You have to have that trust with your partner because you are putting your life in their hands,' she stated, acknowledging the very real risks of the sport.
This profound level of trust appears to be the foundation of their captivating on-ice chemistry, which has consistently earned them high praise from the judging panel. Their performances are not just technically skilled but are charged with a palpable emotional resonance that captivates viewers.
The Reality Of Reality TV Relationships
Davies' comments will undoubtedly fuel speculation about the nature of their relationship, a common feature of dance-based reality shows. While she stopped short of confirming a full-blown romantic involvement, her descriptions of an 'intimate partnership' and a 'security blanket' strongly suggest a connection that goes beyond mere friendship or professional courtesy.
This revelation is set to send fans of the show into a frenzy, eagerly watching their every interaction for further clues. Whether this powerful bond will translate into the coveted DOI trophy remains to be seen, but it certainly makes for compelling viewing.
