West End star Amber Davies has sent Strictly Come Dancing fans into a frenzy after revealing she already has her ideal professional partner picked out, should she ever receive that coveted call from the BBC.
The former Love Island winner, who has been dazzling audiences in musical theatre productions, confessed she's been closely following the hit dancing competition for years and has developed a clear favourite among the professional dancers.
From Reality TV to the Dance Floor
Amber, who found fame on ITV's Love Island before transitioning to successful stage roles, admitted she would "jump at the chance" to join the Strictly lineup. "I'm a massive fan of the show," she gushed. "I watch it every single weekend without fail."
The 27-year-old performer believes her background in musical theatre gives her a unique advantage. "I've been dancing since I was three years old," Amber revealed, highlighting her extensive training in various dance styles that could serve her well in the competition.
The Dream Partnership
When pressed about which professional dancer she'd love to be paired with, Amber didn't hesitate. "I've always said Vito Coppola," she declared with certainty. "There's just something about him - he seems so lovely and he's an incredible teacher."
Her admiration for the Italian dancer stems from watching his partnership with 2023 winner Ellie Leach. "Seeing how he was with Ellie last year just cemented it for me," Amber explained. "Their partnership seemed so genuine and he brought out the best in her."
Strictly's Special Appeal
What makes Strictly Come Dancing so compelling for Amber? "It's the sparkle, it's the glamour, it's the professionalism," she enthused. "There's no other show like it on television."
The Welsh-born star also acknowledged the show's reputation for being physically demanding. "I know it would be hard work," she admitted, "but what an incredible experience it would be."
With her dance background, television experience, and clear passion for the programme, Amber Davies might just be the perfect contestant waiting in the wings. As Strictly fans eagerly await the next season announcement, many will be hoping producers take note of Amber's enthusiastic availability.
