Strictly Come Dancing contestant Amber Davies has opened up about the emotional moment that left viewers concerned during Sunday's results show, where she found herself in the dreaded bottom two alongside former football star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
The Emotional Revelation
In an exclusive interview, the former Love Island winner revealed that her visibly upset expression wasn't just about facing elimination, but stemmed from a deeper emotional connection to her performance journey. "It was a mixture of emotions," Davies confessed. "The thought of leaving the competition so early was devastating, but there was more to it than that."
Behind the Dance-Off Drama
The tense moment saw Davies and her professional dance partner perform their Cha Cha Cha to "I'm Every Woman" against Hasselbaink and his partner. While the judges ultimately saved Davies, sending the former Chelsea striker home, the emotional impact lingered long after the cameras stopped rolling.
"People saw me looking upset and immediately thought it was about being in the bottom two," Davies explained. "But honestly, it was about the entire experience - the pressure, the connection to the dance, and the realisation of how much this journey means to me."
A Turning Point in the Competition
The Made in Chelsea star described the experience as a "wake-up call" that has only strengthened her determination to prove herself in the competition. "Being in the bottom two changes your perspective entirely," she revealed. "It makes you realise how much you want to be here and how hard you're willing to fight to stay."
Davies also expressed her admiration for Hasselbaink, describing him as "the most wonderful person" and acknowledging the difficulty of competing against someone she'd grown close to during their Strictly journey.
Looking Forward
With the competition heating up, Davies says she's more determined than ever to bring her best to the dance floor. "This experience has lit a fire in me," she stated. "I'm ready to come back stronger and show everyone what I'm truly capable of."
As Strictly continues to captivate Saturday night audiences, all eyes will be on Davies to see how she bounces back from this emotional rollercoaster in the weeks ahead.
