Amber Davies Sets Week 10 ‘Proud Mary’ Jive on Strictly as Fans Debate the Benchmark

The song choice invites comparison to Alexandra Burke’s 2017 jive, sharpening debate over risk versus homage.

Overview

  • Davies and partner Nikita Kuzmin are slated to perform a jive to Tina Turner’s Proud Mary on Saturday, November 29 as they bid for the quarter-finals.
  • Viewer reaction is split, with some citing Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez’s 2017 Proud Mary as the standard and others welcoming the high-energy pick.
  • Davies shared rehearsal updates on Instagram, saying “My legs are broken!” and praising Kuzmin’s “wild and magical” choreography.
  • Some fans speculate Kuzmin is holding a Couples’ Choice for a potential Musicals Week, a theory unconfirmed by the show or the pair.
  • Davies advanced after a 36/40 Blackpool quickstep dedicated to her grandmother, with Shirley Ballas praising her footwork, and no elimination following La Voix’s injury withdrawal.
