In the wake of her intimate snaps with Nikita, sources close to Amber reacted to the images, telling the Daily Mail that any suggestion she has fallen victim to the show’s ‘curse’ is nonsense.
A source close to Amber told the Daily Mail: ‘Everyone thought Amber would be panicked and worried about being in the dance-off, but that’s not the case.
‘She was not surprised to be there at all. With Strictly it’s an entertainment show, it’s anyone’s game. She actually had a feeling on Saturday that it would be her time in the bottom two.
‘But she’s going into this week feeling positive. There’s no concern or panic from her at all, and she’s still really enjoying her Strictly experience.’
They added: ‘It’s ridiculous for anyone to believe there’s anything going on between Amber and Nikita.
‘The pictures didn’t affect them at all because they know the truth. Amber was unfazed by it.’
It comes after Nikita mocked speculation over his chemistry with Amber as he kissed her boyfriend Ben on the forehead.
Nikita has hammered home that there is no funny business as he was seen kissing Ben on the head at the Strictly studios on Saturday.
In a post shared by Amber on her Instagram Story as she asked fans to vote, Nikita held Ben’s head with both hands as he planted a kiss on his head.
