Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies has hit back at cruel trolls who criticised her past dance experience. The Love Island winner, who replaced Dani Dyer after she fractured her ankle, is partnered with Nikita Kuzmin this year.
Davies faced the dance-off this weekend but was saved by judges, sending Lewis Cope home. Following the results, she took to Instagram to address the negativity, writing: 'Guys, please.. It’s really just a television show. I wasn’t even supposed to be in the comp. You have no idea what we put our mind and body through for this experience.. I’m really just trying my best with the opportunity that came to me.'
She added: 'The meanies are out to play. Please be kind. On a lighter note, I see the support and love. And it makes me want to cry. I love you all lots, thank you from the bottom of my heart.'
Fans rallied behind Davies, with one commenting: 'The haters don't know her. What a sad world the keyboard warriors must have. She's a pleasure to watch. Amber, you are wonderful.' Another said: 'What a fabulous night you had with your routines. How you ended up in the bottom two is beyond me.'
Davies also paid tribute to Lewis Cope, calling him 'one of the greatest dancers Strictly has ever seen' and saying their dance-off was 'terrifying' because she was 'dancing against my best friend.'
