Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies has expressed she has worries about this week’s dance, as partner Nikita supported her.
It Takes Two returned tonight (October 15) as host Janette Manrara sat down with more of our favourite stars ahead of the next live show.
Amber and Nikita will be dancing the first Argentine Tango of the series to Angel of my Dreams by Jade. But it’s also the first time Amber worried she may not be able to do it.
Amber Davies shares concerns ahead of live show
Sitting on the sofa, chatting to Janette about Strictly, the host wanted to know all about their rehearsals for this coming weekend. And Amber made a surprise confession.
When asked how she has found the transition from last week to this week, Amber admitted it was completely different.
She explained: “It’s the first time I have looked at a routine and thought ‘I am not going to be able to achieve this.’
Nikita however was fully supporting Amber, admitting she had even text him earlier in the week, telling him it may be too difficult.
“I got a text from Amber saying ‘I am not sure that I am going to be able to do that. I know that you are confident and you trust me.’ But we will manage to do it.”
But as for how she is improving, Amber admitted she will not give up.
She explained: “I was up last night until two o’clock in the morning in the kitchen just going over the routine so that I could come in today and feel confident.”
Amber admitted it was a “massive compliment” that Nikita thought she was capable of doing the dance.
She said: “He sets the bar so high. It’s like, nobody believes in me any more than Nikita. I have never, in my life, had someone like that. He knows what I can do. If I can try, I can achieve.
Amber praises Strictly’s Ellie
But it wasn’t all stress for Amber, as she positively reflected back on her friendship with fellow Strictly star Ellie Goldstein.
Janette showed the pair a video of Amber and Ellie hugging in the Clauditorium, and she gushed that Ellie is a delight to know.
Amber gushed: “I love that woman so much. She is like your number one fan. Her own performance on Saturday night was incredible.”
Even though it’s a competition, Amber admitted it doesn’t actually feel like that behind-the-scenes.
She explained: “I feel like we are a tight-knit unit. And everybody helps everybody out.
