Strictly Come Dancing's Amber Davies admits on It Takes Two she felt 'uncomfortable' last week as she's issued warning
Things are heating up ahead of Blackpool week...Strictly Come Dancing‘s celebs are preparing to battle it out in the Tower Ballroom for Blackpool week, but Amber Davies has told It Takes Two’s Fleur East that she felt ‘uncomfortable’ on the show last weekend despite receiving the highest scoring paso of the series.
Amber and Nikita came out on top of the leaderboard after Sunday’s results.
After storming to the top spot, the BBC has revealed the duo will be dancing to S Club 7’s song Reach with a Quickstep. While the Blackpool special is just days away, Amber and Nikita joined former Strictly star Fleur East on It Takes Two to discuss their successful weekend. This is where Amber revealed that although they received the top marks, she felt ‘uncomfortable’ on the dance floor.
Amber Davies tells It Takes Two she was ‘uncomfortable’ last week on Strictly
Fleur tells the pair that they looked incredible, while Nikita admits he hadn’t watched the performance back yet. This was a far cry from Amber who confessed she had watched it back ’47 times’.
She also praised her pro dance partner.
Amber says: “His passion is infectious. The way he spoke about the paso, I couldn’t help but love it myself before we even started. It’s very different from to what we’ve done it before.”
Amber confirms the performance was her favourite of the series so far, but it also opened the door to a new experience – feeling uncomfortable. However, it wasn’t something that has put her off. Far from it, actually. It comes after she was issued a warning she could be in danger by the latest odds.
She added: “Even the way your body moves and the shapes that you do.
“I liked to go there, to be uncomfortable. I loved last week. I hope we can keep the positive vibes for Blackpool.”
Turning to Nikita, Fleur East asked why wasn’t their Aerosmith track was a traditional paso song and we were treated to a hidden talent!
Nikita replied: “I couldn’t use any of the basic figures therefore I was bouncing of the voice of the crescendo of the drums, nuggets of music, because the rhythm was different.”
Nikita then started singing along to Aerosmith’s Dream On to demonstrate how the song was different to a paso rhythm. He was praised for his voice by Amber, who was smiling next to him, before he called himself a ‘singing queen’.
Sing your heart out, Nikita!
‘I forgot to watch Amber’
Fleur then asked how and why Nikita’s outfit had changed so drastically throughout the week. It came after Nikita wanted ‘more chest’ ahead of the weekend.
She said at the beginning of the week, Nikita was planning to wear a black vest top and cropped leather jacket but he actually came out wearing a couple of straps instead!
Fans agreed on the wardrobe.
One X user tweeted: “Whoever decided Nikita’s outfit on Saturday night deserves a raise.”
A second admitted: “Not the point, but Nikita’s outfit for Strictly was chef’s kiss honestly.”
And a third joked: “Thank you wardrobe,” after seeing him strut his stuff.
While his dance partner laughed: “I saw a lot of comments that said ‘I forgot to watch Amber!'”
George Clarke’s song choice for Tower Ballroom is a ‘risk’
Days ahead of the stars strutting their stuff during the famous Blackpool week, George Clarke has been handed a fresh blow.
The Strictly star, with his pro dancer Alexis Warr, will be dancing a Salsa to Bob Sinclair.
But Brendan Cole thinks it’s not enough for George to prove judge Craig Revel Horwood wrong. Craig has come under fire for his comments and criticism when it comes to the influencer.
Brendan, former strictly star, warned: “George Clarke and Alexis Warr performing a Salsa for Blackpool week does not sound good at all.
“After a bad rumba, even though the judges mostly gushed over it apart from Craig, that song is horrendous. If you are doing a Salsa, you want authentic, sexy music. A modern pop track pretending to be a Salsa is a bad choice.”
Vicky Pattinson addresses pulling out of Strictly’s It Takes Two are being eliminated
Strictly Come Dancing’s Vicky Pattinson – who waved goodbye to the Glitterball Trophy on Sunday night – was absent from It Takes Two on Monday’s episode.
Fans noticed she hadn’t attended the spin-off show and were concerned.
Usually, the eliminated contestants appear on It Takes Two’s Monday episode if they were eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing the night before. However, Fleur East confirmed they wouldn’t be joining her on Monday and left out a lot of detail.
She said at the time: “This weekend we sadly said goodbye to Vicky and Kai. They can’t be with us tonight but will be joining us later on in the week.”
But Vicky responded to concerns and clarified she missed the show as she had pre-arranged birthday commitments. The Geordie Shore star celebrated her 38th birthday on the Sunday she was eliminated. Of course, stars had no idea when they’ll be booted from the competition so her birthday events were already in the diary.
“My lovely Strictly Come Dancing family gave me the night off to enjoy my birthday! Me and [Kai Widdrington] will be on [It Takes Two] Wednesday and I can’t wait!” Vicky said.
