Amber Davies Replaces Dani Dyer on Strictly Come Dancing Live Show

Amber Davies, a former Love Island winner and West End star, has been announced as the replacement for Dani Dyer on the 2025 season of Strictly Come Dancing after Dyer fractured her ankle during rehearsals. Amber, who has extensive dance experience including professional musical theatre roles and a past participation in Dancing on Ice, will be partnered with Nikita Kuzmin and will debut on the first live show performing a Waltz. While many fans expressed excitement about Amber joining, some raised concerns about fairness due to her prior dance training, arguing that Strictly is meant to showcase celebrities learning to dance from scratch. Amber expressed enthusiasm and gratitude about joining the show, calling it a dream come true and sending well wishes to Dani Dyer. Other contestants include sports pundit Karen Carney and TV presenter Ross King, with the series airing on BBC One and iPlayer from September to December. Amber's addition adds a layer of professionalism to the cast, balancing the diverse backgrounds of the contestants.
