Strictly Come Dancing viewers have noted an awkward omission in the show's opening credits, as Amber Davies, the replacement for injured Dani Dyer, was not included. Hours after it was confirmed that Dani would pull out of the series due to a fractured ankle, the opening titles still featured her image, but Amber was absent.
Amber, a fellow Love Island star, was announced as Dani's replacement just days before the live launch. While she appeared in the live show, fans were quick to notice her absence from the pre-recorded titles. Social media users expressed their surprise, with one commenting: 'Dani Dyer still on the opening credits and no Amber Davies… slightly awkward.' Another added: 'Okay so they didn't have time to put Amber in the titles yet.'
The mishap follows Dani Dyer's withdrawal from the show earlier this week after a fall during rehearsals led to a fractured ankle. The 29-year-old shared a message of support to her co-stars on Instagram, writing: 'Good luck to all the gorgeous cast starting their Strictly journey tonight.'
The official Strictly Come Dancing Instagram page confirmed her exit, stating: 'Unfortunately due to an injury Dani Dyer is no longer able to compete in #Strictly 2025. She'll be sorely missed and we wish her a speedy recovery.' Dani herself expressed her heartbreak, saying: 'To say I'm heartbroken is the biggest understatement.'
Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday on BBC One, with Amber Davies now set to join the cast for the upcoming episodes.
