ITV Dancing on Ice's Amber Davies addresses real reason she was emotional amid skate-off survival

Dancing on Ice star Amber Davies has shared the real reasons she was left emotional as her latest night at the rink took an unexpected twist. The West End star was tearful after performing to Spice Girls’ Mama in dedication to her mother, who watched in the audience, as part of the show's 'personal week'.

She and professional skating partner Simon Proulx-Senecal received 33 points for their routine from the ice panel - Johnny Weir, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - which was slightly lower than their recent performances in the ITV skating competition.
