Speaking about the dance-off, Amber explained that she had been close to both Lewis and Katya during her time on the show.
“Lewis was my rock in the building, so it was such an unfortunate situation,” she said.
Speaking to the duo, Janette Manrara said that there has been a “lot of upset” about Lewis’ exit.
“How have you handled some of those comments?” she asked.
“I would like to think I have thick skin. But, obviously, the start of the week has been tougher than usual,” Amber confessed.

The star then continued, saying: “But, I’d just like to remind everybody that I was never supposed to be here.
“You know, I was a quick replacement, and I am just doing my best,” she said.

“And do you know what, we are lucky to have you, my darling!” Janette said.
