Overview
- Drafted in days before the first live show to replace the injured Dani Dyer, Davies partnered with Nikita Kuzmin and later topped week two’s leaderboard with a samba scoring 29.
- In a This Morning interview, she argued musical theatre and ballroom are different disciplines and said even basic American Smooth steps brought her to tears.
- Davies described engaging “every single muscle” to keep frame and footwork, adding that the mental load has her running choreography in the middle of the night.
- Kuzmin praised her commitment, calling her the best student he has worked with and highlighting her intensive note-taking and practice.
- For Movie Week, the pair are set to dance an American Smooth to Sixteen Going On Seventeen from The Sound of Music, with Cynthia Erivo confirmed as guest mentor.
