Could Amber Davies be making her way to the cobbled streets of Coronation Street? The former Love Island star, currently dazzling audiences on ITV's Dancing On Ice, has addressed rumors about her potential role in the popular soap opera.
Despite gaining fame for her win on Love Island in 2017 with her then-partner Kem Cetinay, Davies actually had a background in West End theatre. She earned a scholarship to a prestigious drama school at the young age of sixteen. Though she took a brief break from acting to participate in the reality show, she has since taken on impressive roles in 9 to 5: The Musical, Pretty Woman, and even as Marty McFly's mother in the Back to the Future Musical.
While it was recently reported that Davies would be joining the cast of Coronation Street this summer in a "major role," the actress has denied these claims. In a post on Instagram, she stated that she has "NO IDEA" where these rumors came from and confirmed that she will be going back on tour with her current show after Dancing On Ice.
Despite not landing a role on the soap opera, Davies is still shining on the ice. She wowed the judges with her Barbie-inspired routine on Sunday, earning a top score of 31.0. This put her above soap stars Ryan Thomas, Claire Sweeney, Roxy Shahidi, and Ricky Norwood, with S Club 7 icon Hannah Spearritt being eliminated from the competition.
In a fun connection, Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi, who has played Leyla Harding for fourteen years, has also found her two jobs overlapping. The show welcomed legendary skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean for a cameo appearance at Christmas to help Belle Dingle with her proposal to Tom King.
In other soap news, Emmerdale's Matthew Wolfenden surprised his former co-star during Dancing on Ice, and Roxy Shahidi will be taking a break from Emmerdale to compete on the show. It looks like the soap world and the ice skating world are colliding in more ways than one!
