DANCING On Ice's Amber Davies has been named one of the favourites to skate to glory.

Online Betting Guide (OLBG) have shared the latest Dancing On Ice winner odds for the 2024 series and former Love Island star Amber is the current favourite to win the show with odds of 11/4. Boxing legend Ricky Hatton continues to be the favourite to be the first eliminated celebrity. 

Amber, of Denbigh, has been paired with skating partner Simon Proulx-Senecal. She will make her debut on the ITV show on Sunday, January 14.

Speaking ahead of the series, she said: "My mum nearly had a heart attack because obviously when you sign up to a skating show there is danger involved. And with me being on stage every day, I think there were just alarm bells in her head like, 'Oh my God, this could go terribly wrong.' But I just think if you have that narrative throughout life, you'll never do anything."

The West End star, who attended Ysgol Glan Clwyd, St Asaph, didn't think that an "opportunity like this" would present itself.

"I haven't been on telly for so many years, I thought that ship had sailed," Amber said. 

"But when the producers pulled me in for a meeting, they solely recognised me as a musical theatre performer. And for me, I was like, 'Oh, that's so lovely.' I don't feel like opportunities like this come around often, at my age, to learn a brand new skill from scratch.
