Amber Davies has spoken out about the rumors regarding her relationship with her Strictly Come Dancing partner, Nikita Kuzmin. The 29-year-old actress, known for winning Love Island in 2017, is currently dating Ben Joyce. Despite this, there have been sightings of her being ‘close’ to Nikita, who is in a relationship with model Lauren Jaine.
During a recent Argentine tango routine on the show, Amber and Nikita almost kissed, sparking speculation among fans about a possible involvement in the so-called “Strictly curse.” Amber directly addressed the rumors, stating, “The only good thing is Ben is not bothered by it. So I can easily dismiss it as it doesn’t impact us, which is comforting. I adore Lauren, Nikita’s girlfriend, immensely. I communicate with her regularly, all day, every day.”
In a conversation with The Sun, Amber mentioned her strong bond with Nikita’s partner, saying, “Lauren spends more time with me than with her boyfriend. She even visited my dressing room before seeing Nikita the other day. I’ve practically stolen her!”
Before joining Strictly as a replacement for Dani Dyer, Amber landed the lead role of Elle Woods in a touring production of Legally Blonde: The Musical. She shared on her Call To Stage podcast that she unexpectedly auditioned for the role on a day when she and Ben were moving into their new home. The couple initially met while performing in Back To The Future at the Adelphi Theatre in 2022.
Insiders at Elstree Studios, where Strictly is filmed, revealed that Amber and Nikita share a strong connection both on and off stage, with their chemistry catching the attention of their colleagues. Despite the speculations, Amber emphasized that her boyfriend is unfazed by her intimate dance routines with Nikita, considering it a normal part of their industry.
