Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies was saved from elimination this weekend – but could her luck finally be up?

Everything you need to know as Amber Davies is set to miss out on the Strictly Come Dancing final

• Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies issued an emotional statement on Sunday after she landed in the dance-off against Lewis Cope. After the duo had to dance again for the judges, they ultimately chose to save Amber, meaning the Emmerdale star was sent home.
• Despite receiving a perfect score of 40 from the judges, the Love Island star faced criticism from viewers about her previous dance experience. Amber, who finished starring in The Great Gatsby on the West End prior to competing on Strictly, was in her element for this week’s quarter final, but comments on social media left her emotional.
• Amber issued an emotional statement on Instagram. She told her followers, “Guys, please… It really is just a television show. I wasn’t even supposed to be in the comp. You have no idea what we put our mind and body through for this experience. I’m really just trying my best with the opportunity that came to me. Anyone who has left a NICE comment. Thank you.”
• Each week, the bookies have been predicting which celebrity will be the next to leave the dance floor – and it seems Amber and Balvinder Sopal are in the danger zone. Despite being the bookmakers’ favourite to exit for several weeks, Balvinder has managed to stay in the competition. This week, she even managed to avoid the dance-off completely, putting Amber at risk.
• However, after landing in the bottom two, Amber is at risk of missing the final if she leaves the BBC competition this week. Karen Carney is currently leading the pack as the favourite to win, closely followed by George Clarke in second place.
