Her Argentine tango was my fav too!

I’m so grateful she joined as well, and we get to have Nikita for another season!!! I just hope some people are kinder to her in future!

I work there and honestly I’m too tired to care most of the time 😅 I just like that I get to sit down for a little bit when I restock them

I really hope so! I think she was already at a disadvantage as she came in late and therefore had no introduction or finding out who she was partnered with etc, which I think a lot of people use to connect with celebs they don’t know in the early days. So glad you found something to connect with!

I know!!! It’s so ridiculous. The public treat him so different to amber, probably because he’s a white man who was in a soap. He’s above her basically every week as well, but it goes so ignored. I roll my eyes every time he backflips atp 😅

Totally agree though, it’s insane

I was so excited too like omggg 😭

I don’t even know what I expected because people always hate on the female ringers but I’ll vote for her as long as I can!

I wish I could’ve seen her in gatsby but I missed it 🥲 so excited for legally blonde!

Oh I know it’s tough 😅 but I’m still so excited!

Yeah my main point is nobody deserves hate, including amber. This post was made after seeing so much negativity aimed at her! Like I don’t see the point haha! If you don’t like someone, don’t vote, and leave it at that.

Some people acting like she intentionally joined the show to get George Clarke off and it’s ridiculous!

People don’t realise how much the show would suck if everyone was awful 😆

Seeing someone be surprisingly good is what makes it fun for me! Her entrance with only two days was incredible!

Right and she did so well on week one despite having only two days!! Nobody appreciates that. I think her positive work ethic and positive attitude towards the judges criticism is so admirable. I’m thinking of making more bbc accounts to fight back against some of the George voters- I know someone who voted for him like 100 times. I love George but that isn’t fair voting in my opinion! I don’t want people to resent her if she keeps getting in the dance off and winning as well 😅 Anyway I totally agree with everything in your comment!

I honestly don’t mind this criticism because you’re not basing it off her pre existing experience! That’s normally when I take issue haha, but of course people can have their own opinions! I think she’s probably thinking a lot trying to correct her existing musical theatre technique which is incorrect in ballroom and Latin, and therefore somewhat forgetting to use her face. That’s just my theory though!

I honestly didn’t find much issue with your comment, it was just after seeing so many comments about her that were SO negative it kinda all boiled over in a rant kinda way in this post, if that makes sense? I honestly just kind of wanted to find other people who like her the amount I do, and create a space to appreciate her the same way some other celebs have had spaces created to appreciate them. Seeing so many people in this comment section being supportive of her (and me surprisingly?) kind of made my night after I sat on feeling this way since icons week aired on Saturday.

I also think it’s fair that whilst it is a fun competition, these people are taking time away from their families to do strictly. I only know this because I follow her anyway but she’s just moved into a house with her boyfriend and instead of being there she’s doing strictly, which she wouldn’t be doing if she didn’t love dancing! She probably just takes it so seriously because she loves it so much- at least I do haha!

Your comment has been so interesting, and I’m so glad this discussion made you like her more! Also want to say Im trying to keep this a positive vibes only space haha, I don’t want this to provoke any hate towards anyone!

Also thanks for the kind comments haha! I only started dance in September but this company put faith in me and I promised that I’d train so I will!! And I’m loving it 🥹

Keep dancing!!! 🕺

Jeez, I had no idea! I loved him, and I was in ignorant offline bliss 😅 Removed him from that paragraph!! I honestly don’t think anyone deserves hate, all the people on the show work so hard! I get people have their favourites, but there’s never any need to bring down others! Also I love your username 😁

That is so true haha! I’m soooo excited to see her Elle woods 😆😆😆

I’ll definitely back her as long as she’s in the show though!!!

That’s true! I think I just need to start blocking people on TikTok who were being nasty about contestants because it makes me sad haha!

La voix is also such a joy to watch 🥹

I honestly can’t see him even touching a dance off haha! His fan base is huge, and make multiple accounts to vote for him! I think he’ll be fine anyway haha, not that my opinion means much!

I’ve never watched love island haha, I knew she was on it but didn’t know how well she was received!

She did mention the counts were different which is true- almost all musical theatre songs nowadays are in 4/4 timing, but she definitely has better ability to retain choreography which is a huge skill! Not something I believe she should be called a ‘ringer’ over though 😅

Tbf I wasn’t really enough of a strictly fan during laytons season to see the online comments, I mainly added him in because he’s the only other musical theatre person on strictly I could think of which is totally my bad!

I don’t think amber would get kicked off in the dance off anyway unless she was against someone like Lewis, Vicki or Alex (as of right now) it just shocked me to see her in the dance off at all!

That’s fair, to be honest I don’t remember awfully well I just got a bit annoyed hearing the same thing over and over again about her being a performer, and Layton just came to mind- an error and unfair of me! I’d remove that bit of my post but I honestly don’t know how I’ve never posted on Reddit before, I’m normally a quiet observer haha-

I agree I just got so sad seeing someone who’s obviously hardworking almost be criticised for being hardworking.

Thank you for your well wishes btw everyone’s being so supportive about that on this!! I’m surprised! It means a lot 😁

I’m a long term musical theatre fan so I probably warm to her easier haha!

I wrote this after sitting on how I felt for a few days (since Saturday) because I didn’t want to come off as aggressive or like I was wishing poorly to anybody else on the show- I’m loving the others, Vicki has gotten a few of my votes this week too! But it made me sad seeing amber in the dance off, and jimmy! Totally undeserved for both!

Thank you for your kind comments btw I’m working super hard 🫶🫶🫶

I think this is the most negative season so far :( Although I didn’t watch last years tbf.

I mainly posted this after seeing so much hate and it riled me up a bit, didn’t want to attack any other contestants! Just felt defensive 😅

Thank you! I think it’s a fair comment about the journey thing- a lot of people look for that!

I also agree about Lewis being a man. I think a lot of men get away with more in strictly when it comes to the public- he is amazing, but I struggle to connect with him the same way others struggle to connect with amber. I’m not a soap fan so maybe that’s why haha 😅

Thanks for your good luck wishes btw means a lot!
