ITV Dancing On Ice star addresses claims she's joining Coronation Street in 'dream' role
Dancing On Ice star Amber Davies has spoken out about reports she will be joining the cast of Coronation Street "as a lead character".
Dancing On Ice star Amber Davies has spoken out about reports ITV bosses have signed her up to play a "lead character" on Coronation Street. Reports claimed on Wednesday that the Love Island 2017 winner had auditioned for the soap last year but didn't land the role, but that bosses had now created a new character just for her and that she would be joining the cast in the summer.
A source told MailOnline: "This is like a dream come true for her. Amber can't believe it, she is so excited."
However, the 27-year-old has now taken to Instagram to quash the rumours, telling her 1.3 million followers that they are "absolutely false".
She wrote on her Story: "Not family members messaging me asking am I going into Corrie. I have NO IDEA where this has come from but it’s absolutely false!
“After Dancing On Ice I will be back on tour with my wonderful Pretty Woman family.”
After winning Love Island with her ex-boyfriend Kem Cetinay, Amber embarked on a professional acting career.
She has appeared in a number of stage productions including 9 to 5: The Musical alongside Louise Redknapp, Bring It On, Back to the Future and most recently Pretty Woman playing Vivian - famously portrayed by Julia Roberts in the 1990 movie.
Amber has been wowing audiences of Dancing On Ice since the 2024 series kicked off earlier this month.
Last weekend, she topped the leaderboard with her professional partner Simon Proulx-Sénécal.
