Amber Davies rubbishes accusations of 'arrogance'
TV star Amber Davies has launched a staunch defence of herself.
Amber Davies has hit back at her critics who have accused her of arrogance.
The 29-year-old beauty has rubbished suggestions that she's arrogant, explaining that "working hard does not mean you're stuck up".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Amber said: "I have a lot of young women follow me. I didn't know what my purpose was on Strictly until I realised that I was getting a lot of negative comments for being good.
"I can't believe I have to say this in 2025, but being ambitious as a woman, being confident, having dreams and working hard does not mean you're stuck up, it doesn't mean that you're arrogant, I want to change that. It shouldn't even be the narrative.
"I've had lots of people say, 'I just can't warm to her' and I think it's because they don't want to warm to me, that's it.
"At the end of the day, I come from a small town in north Wales and I worked so hard because I love what I do and the fact that I was given this opportunity, nobody was going to decline Strictly Come Dancing as a Strictly fan."
Amber is determined to encourage other young women to pursue their dreams, regardless of what their critics say.
The brunette beauty - who won the third series of Love island back in 2017 - explained: "I just want to reiterate ... we live once.
"Whatever you're ambitious about and whatever you care for in life, go for it with two hands and don't undermine yourself to make other people feel comfortable because that's not what we're here for. We should live for us."
Amber actually feels frustrated that she's having to defend her approach to life.
She said: "Another thing I want to say is being your own cheerleader and loving yourself is the kindest form of self-love that you have. I just can't believe we still have to say this in 2025."
