Strictly star Amber Davies has admitted it’s been a “tougher” start to the week “than usual” after her dance-off experience on Sunday (December 7).

Saturday (December 6) saw Amber and Nikita Kuzmin score 40 points for their Charleston to Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat from Guys and Dolls.

However, it didn’t prove enough for them to land in the bottom two alongside Lewis Cope and Katya Jones.

After the judges unanimously saved Amber, the star has come under fire from cruel trolls on social media.

Tonight, on It Takes Two, Amber addressed the trolling and fired back at those taking cruel swipes at her.

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, you know, the love is more overpowering than the hate. So if you have sent a message or a kind comment our way, we really do appreciate it so much.”

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

This Saturday (December 13) will see Amber perform two routines. Their first dance is a Couple’s Choice to Fly Me To The Moon by Raye. They will then perform a tango to Higher by Michael Bublé.
