WEST End star Amber Davies was spotted back in her hometown of Denbigh – enjoying a coffee stop with her Strictly Come Dancing professional partner, Nikita Kuzmin.

The pair visited Siop Goffi Ji-Binc Coffee Shop on High Street twice, just days after Amber made her glittering debut on the hit BBC show.

Staff at the café were delighted to welcome the duo, sharing a post on social media: "Look who popped in for coffee this morning!

"Lovely to see you Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin #strictlycomedancing 2025. All the best to you both."

A spokesperson for the shop told the Free Press that the dancing pair came in during the morning before returning later for lunch, ahead of travelling back to London.

Fans took to social media to pledge their support for Amber, who is from Denbigh and attended Ysgol Glan Clwyd in St Asaph.

One person said: "Definitely support the local girl and she’s supporting our favourite breakfast stop."

Another commented: "How marvellous!"

And a third added: "Lovely photo and good luck."

Amber, who has been cast as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical, took to the Strictly floor for the first live show on Saturday night with Nikita, performing a Waltz to When We Were Young by Adele.

The podcaster joined the line-up at short notice, stepping in after Dani Dyer was forced to withdraw from the show due to a broken ankle.

Amber received high praise from the judges for her debut routine, earning an impressive score of 27.

Head Judge Shirley Ballas said: "This was outstanding. It has that elegance, real ease of movement. Miraculous really."

Craig Revel Horwood added: "I felt the footwork was way too balletic. You are naturally blessed with neck of a flamingo darling, long elegant lines which you can't buy or purchase and your arms are absolutely exquisite."

Addressing her background on the show, Amber said: "I am in musical theatre but I have never done ballroom."

There was no vote-off on Saturday night, with scores carrying over into next week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday, October 4.
