This week, Amber Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin are focusing on getting to know each other a bit better, with a trip to Amber’s hometown.
As we’ve mentioned, Amber joined the series late, stepping in for fellow Love Islander Dani Dyer, who had to bow out due to injury.
They’re tackling a jaunty Samba routine, packed with hip shaking and fiendishly tricky footwork.
“I love, love, loved that,” says a surprisingly upbeat Craig Revel Horwood.
Shirley Ballas, ever the realist, brings things back down to earth: “It’s a tale of two halves,” she says, adding that Amber needs to work on her transitions.
And not to forget, it’s Amber Davies’s birthday today. Happy birthday!
Here’s how the couple scored:
Craig: 8
Motsi: 7
Shirley: 7
Anton: 7
