CBBC star joins Strictly after injury

Amber Davies is joining the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Welsh actor, TV personality, and West End star won Love Island in 2017 before moving into acting, with lead roles in theatre productions including Pretty Woman, 9 to 5: The Musical, and The Great Gatsby.

She's also been in the CBBC show Almost Never, playing the part of Jess - Lola's coach and Dan's younger sister.

She'll make her bow on the first Strictly live show on Saturday - dancing with Nikita.

It comes after Dani Dyer had to withdraw after breaking her ankle.

Even though she has already done Dancing on Ice, Amber said: "This has been the craziest 24 hours of my life.

"I've watched Strictly with my family since I was younger and to now be part of the show is a dream come true. I'm going to give it my all and I am sending Dani well wishes for a speedy recovery. I hope I do her proud."

Amber has just started rehearsals with Nikita, and on Saturday night they will dance a Waltz.

Good luck, Amber!
