"At the end of last year's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final, pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin made a tearful appeal to camera, I speak to the audience at home: guys, just please, please be kind! His celebrity partner, Love Island winner, Dancing on Ice contestant and musical theatre actor Amber Davies, had been getting a lot of flak online. You have had so much hate, every single day, said Kuzmin."
"Isn't it crazy that we have to remind people to be nice to other humans who are just doing their job, I say to Davies, when we meet in a London hotel bar. I genuinely think it's getting worse, says Davies, who has been in the public eye since 2017. With TikTok, when people jump on a bandwagon, they go for it, she adds."
"If you're confident, you're seen as stuck up. Too sweet and you're fake Davies is of the just ignore them school of thought and she beams positivity with a bright, perfect smile. The 29-year-old from Denbigh, north Wales is both girl next door and glamazon. It's Monday morning but she's looking very Friday night: dolled up for a shoot, pristine makeup defining the pretty angles of her face, slicked-back hair, gold 1980s earrings."
Nikita Kuzmin pleaded on camera for viewers to be kind after Amber Davies faced heavy online criticism. Davies reported daily hate and believes the problem has intensified, citing TikTok bandwagon behaviour and unexpected negativity from older viewers. She observed that confidence can be labelled as arrogance while sweetness can be dismissed as fakery. Davies prefers to ignore hostile comments and projects positivity, sharing personal-growth mottos on her musical theatre podcast. She is touring with Legally Blonde the Musical and described the Strictly experience as magical and unparalleled.
