UPDATE: In a heart-wrenching moment during the Strictly Come Dancing final on Saturday, Amber Davies broke down in tears while delivering a touching tribute to her fellow competitors. This emotional scene unfolded just before Davies, a last-minute replacement for Dani Dyer, showcased her final performance of the season.
Davies, who joined the competition just days before its launch, has captured the hearts of viewers and judges alike with her impressive skills alongside pro partner Nikita Kuzmin. Throughout the season, they emerged as one of the most consistent couples, culminating in a standout performance that earned them a perfect score of 40 for their jive to “Proud Mary.”
As the lights dimmed for her last dance on the show, Davies expressed her emotions candidly. When host Claudia Winkleman highlighted that it was her final performance, Davies said, “Would it be nice to win? Yes. But you know what would be nicer? If one of my friends picks up the Glitterball.” Her heartfelt statement resonated throughout the ballroom, showcasing her selflessness amid the competition.
Davies praised her fellow finalists, Karen and George, calling them “the most genuine and kind people.” She reflected on her journey, stating, “I feel like I’ve already won just by being here. I wasn’t supposed to be here. Being in the final, that’s madness – one of them deserves it and I’m rooting for them.”
The emotional moment struck a chord with viewers, prompting reactions from both Winkleman and co-host Tess Daly, who remarked, “Oh how lovely,” as the cameras captured the poignant scene.
As the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing season comes to a close, Davies’ heartfelt farewell highlights the spirit of camaraderie and friendship that defines the show. With the competition heating up, all eyes are now on who will take home the coveted Glitterball trophy.
