Strictly Come Dancing contestant Amber Davies has expressed her sheer delight for an upcoming performance that holds a uniquely personal significance for her and her family.
A Nostalgic Musical Choice
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, the former Love Island star confirmed she will be dancing the quickstep to the classic pop anthem Reach by S Club 7. Davies, a self-professed superfan of the iconic British group, shared that her connection to their music runs deep. "I'm a huge fan of the British pop group," she stated, adding that she had seen them perform live as a child and still knows all of their songs by heart.
A Deep-Rooted Family Connection
The excitement for this particular routine extends beyond mere fandom. Davies revealed a poignant family backstory that makes the dance even more meaningful. Her sister once auditioned for the group's spin-off band, S Club 8, though she was ultimately unsuccessful. This personal history adds an emotional layer to the performance, transforming it from a simple dance into a tribute to a cherished family memory and a dream that was once pursued.
The Blackpool Extravaganza
All of these elements are set to come together in what promises to be a spectacular weekend. The performance is scheduled for the legendary Blackpool Tower Ballroom, a venue synonymous with ballroom dancing history. Davies anticipates a "fun weekend", perfectly combining the high-energy S Club 7 song, the fast-paced challenge of the quickstep, and the electric atmosphere of the Blackpool stage. This fusion of personal nostalgia, family history, and Strictly glamour is set to create a truly unforgettable moment in the competition.
