Amber Davies has admitted she has felt like “trash” following her shock Strictly Come Dancing dance off with Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink. The Love Island star, 29, ended up in the bottom two with former footballer Jimmy, 53, after they failed to win over the public vote.

They were both among the highest scorers of the week yet viewers clearly thought differently to the judges. Amber and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin scored 33 points for their Cha Cha Cha while Jimmy and Lauren Oakley bagged 30 points for their American Smooth.

Both pairs had to perform again, with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke all deciding to keep Amber in the competition. After Jimmy’s shock exit, Amber took to social media where she said she felt like “absolute garbage”.

The reality TV star remained acquiescent in her pajamas while holding onto a photo of her and Nikita performing. She lip-synched a video that said, “I woke up this morning and I felt like absolute garbage,” which is French for trash.

“A gut-wrenching evening in the dance off, especially dancing against two of the most amazing people I’ve met on this experience, @official_jfhasselbaink &amp, @laurenmayoakley,” added Amber. There will be two very special people who will be missed, despite my best efforts to experience Halloween week on Strictly.

“I guess this week we aim for a comeback week if you voted for us, really, really thank you”? Thank you for putting your incredibly shaky hands to the side.

Following his surprise exit, Jimmy took to his own account where he said: “My time on the show has come to an end, and while I left earlier than I’d hoped, I walk away proud of what I achieved. In just a few weeks, I made my point- a footballer can dance, and it’s more than okay to put yourself out there.

I made my daughters proud, most of all. I explained to them that working hard and pushing your comfort zone is worthwhile. Thank you so much, Lauren, from the bottom of my heart.

Your dedication, perseverance, and faith in me made this journey special. I’ll always be grateful for the way you lifted me up and helped me grow, and dancing with you has been a privilege. You are the engine of this show, to the hidden heroes behind the scenes, such as hair, makeup, wardrobe, costume, runners, backstage, and camera crew.

“Thank you to everyone who voted in favor of us.” THANK YOU. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you, contestants I’ve met. I’ll be cheering everyone on from the sidelines. Keep shining and dancing.

Tess Daly, the host of the results show, questioned how Jimmy had spent time on Strictly, saying, “I have absolutely loved my experience. I have to say thank you very much for allowing me to experience this, as well as to my daughters for encouraging me to do this.

I never imagined my enjoyment would be this great. Thank you very much for the incredible people working in the behind the scenes, from the hairdressers to the wardrobe people.

“This experience will forever be with me.” This girl is simply incredible, most important to [Lauren]. She has treated me like a top priority. You are a diamond, Lauren.

The winner of Love Island surprised viewers when he admitted crying after a difficult recovery, but he resisted criticism and joined Young Minds to raise awareness of the stigma.

When Love Island winner Cacherel Mirjah Mercer, better known as Cach, broke down in tears on the show, it became one of the most talked-about moments of the series.

Cach is currently single, despite his current partner, Toni Laites, who he won the show with. Toni and him discussed the circumstances in detail.

He later told her, “You knew what you wanted to do, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else,” he said at the time. “That was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever been through. “I can’t respect that,” he said. He congratulated her as he left after giving her a hug and then walked away.

Later, when he and fellow Islander Ty Isherwood reunited on the terrace, he burst out in tears as he was overcome with emotion. Ty was seen wiping Cach’s tears as he admitted being embarrassed in an emotional moment.

“No man, don’t be. As Cach told him that he hadn’t sobbed in years, Ty said, “This is not a reflection of you; it’s them.”

“This is real, but you’re it.” Better to bottle up this kind of stuff first, then let it out. In emotional moments, Ty remarked, “I’m actually more of a man because it doesn’t make you any less of a man.”

Millions tuned in to watch the scene, which was uncommon on reality TV, especially from young men, where the typically composed dancer displayed raw emotion.

He is now embracing that vulnerability rather than hiding from it. The 24-year-old has partnered with Young Minds, a charity dedicated to helping young people, particularly young men, feel at ease discussing mental health.

“Prior to Love Island, I knew it wasn’t really a thing for men to be vulnerable. I didn’t mean to have the iconic moment,” Cach told The Mirror. “It opened the door for conversations to happen, showing young men it’s okay to speak to your friends about how you’re feeling.”

Cach wasn’t sure how well-known the scene was to viewers, but after speaking with his parents, he realized the impact and was determined to change the narrative that men couldn’t be emotionally.

Following his victory earlier this year, Cach could have used brand endorsements and brand deals to follow his usual course. He was aware that his first major move had to be something more significant.

“I’m really happy that it’s one of my first things to do,” she said. He told us, “I’d rather do something powerful than giving back to the community.”

The 24-year-old is aware of the negative effects that mental health issues can have. He previously experienced anxiety and is aware of how difficult it can be to be candid. Casch claims that he first noticed his struggles while he was in college.

He said, “My chest became a little tight when I and my friends would walk into crowds, like during a lecture.” I could enter a room with a group of people who were still uneasy. But I was unable to enter a group while standing by myself.

He eventually realized that his fear was actually anxiety as it began to creep into his own family gatherings. He claims that speaking up and being open about his feelings was what really helped.

On Love Island, Cach’s emotional vulnerability became one of the series’ most talked-about moments, putting that mindset to the test. It altered both him and many viewers, who saw it as a turning point in how men express their emotions.

But it was uncomfortable at the time that was most vulnerable. His tears were given the title of “Most Emotional Moment” for the scene that was broadcast during The Grafties. Cach jokingly claimed that the AI was something that many perceived as deflection during The Grafties. He has, however, chosen to own that moment since leaving the show.

“Yes, I was feeling it, boy,” I said at the time. I was uneasy about it because it was so frequently discussed after, but it demonstrates how true to myself that I must have my stuff. he stated. “I joked because I felt uneasy when I watched it back,” I said. However, my parents told me to “don’t make it a joke.” People had a reason to be vulnerable, and they made it clear to me that this isn’t the norm for men.

Cach traveled to a school as part of his YoungMinds launch in an effort to help young men and boys feel at ease in their most vulnerable moments, which he claims confirmed his purpose.

He referred to the students’ “really beautiful moments” as being moved by the number of boys who admitted to having trouble talking to their fathers.

He recalled that I advised them to just be open to the conversation and not be afraid to appear soft to their pops.

Cach has contacted schools about assemblies and culture-day discussions since that day, and he intends to do more. He believes that continuing to break the cycle is what keeps him from breaking the cycle because, in his opinion, showing emotion is more important than growth.
