Amber Davies’ dancing journey from Love Island to West End and Strictly Come Dancing

• Amber Davies first became a recognisable face when she joined the Love Island cast in 2017 where she fell for fellow contestant Kem Cetinay. However, the pair weren’t meant to be and split just months after the series ended.

• The West End star had always set her sights on being on stage as gained a scholarship to train in musical theatre at the Urdang Academy in London when she was just 16. She has since starred in several big productions such as The Great Gatsby, 9 to 5 and Back to the Future.

• Amber learned to dance while she was at theatre school but has also had to put this into practice in her West End shows. She also put her dancing to the test when she appeared on the 2024 series of Dancing On Ice where she got to the semi-finals.

• Amber has managed to make it to the semi-finals once again, but this time on Strictly Come Dancing. She has been impressing the judges week after week alongside professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin.
