Amber Davies, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, opened up about her heart-wrenching “gut wrenching” dance with football player Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink after admitting she felt like “trash.”
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 &, @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.
