It’s not simply all bangles and skates on Dancing on Ice. Yearly consistently, stars locate themselves taking care of injuries after taking a tumble or pressing themselves also tough during training – and this year, Amber Davies is just one of those stars. The West End celebrity tore her quad whilst practicing with her skating companion Simon Senecal and needed to go through physical rehabilitation during her recuperation.

Whilst talking with HELLO! and various other press, the previous Love Islander discussed just how she maintained her “painful” injury.

“I had a tear at the top of my quad,” claimed Amber, 27.”It was from off-ice training but we’d been on the ice for two and a half hours. When you’re on the ice it’s all about being down in your knees, so by the end of the session, your legs and bum are burning. 

” We would certainly come off and believed, ‘allow’s simply utilize this moment and do a number of lifts so we can place them on the ice in a various session’. As Simon raised me up, the top of my quad stood out,” explained the theatre star. ” It was so, so uncomfortable. We needed to call the medic, I needed to have physio every early morning.”

Looking on the silver lining, Amber proceeded: “But it kind of made things real for me, like oh my gosh injuries can definitely happen and will happen. I surprised myself because sometimes when things happen I can retract but I didn’t, I stayed calm and I carried on going.”

Amber went on to state that, the good news is, her injury “wasn’t too much of a big tear”, and required a couple of weeks of recuperation.

While lots of customers will certainly recognize Amber from her job on ITV2’s Love Island back in 2017, when she won the collection with her then-boyfriend, Kem Cetinay, she has actually considering that taken a profession on the West End.

“I had to scrap all my dancing technique because everything on ice is down, bent knees and your weight forward,” she discussed. “The only aspect I’ve been able to add is the performance, from my neck up. I think that’s going to be my saving grace because my skating skills are okay, they’re not Greg standard, let’s put it that way,” she quipped, describing fellow entrant Olympian Greg Rutherford. “I think my saving grace is going to be my face and that’s down to my [theatre] training, which I’m so lucky I’ve got.”

Amber’s area in this year’s line-up was introduced back in September. Discussing the information on ITV’s Lorraine at the time, the starlet claimed: “I would definitely say that I’m an adrenaline junkie but I do get more nervous as I get older and I hope that I can contain them, I don’t want to the adrenaline to get the better of me.”
