Amber Wilson has expressed disappointment after leaving Dancing with Stars, admitting she had hoped to stay longer in the competition. The podcaster told RTÉ Entertainment that while she is proud of her efforts, she wished she could have continued to show more growth on the ballroom floor.
This season of Dancing with Stars made history in Ireland, featuring its first-ever female same-sex pairing. Wilson partnered with professional dancer Alex Vladimirov, who returned for her second season on the show. Together, they broke new ground and delivered memorable performances that thrilled fans.
Reflecting on her final performance, Wilson admitted the dress rehearsal the day before had gone poorly. She described it as “absolutely diabolical” and joked that it felt worse than watching a horror movie. Nevertheless, she and Vladimirov used the experience to refocus and returned to the stage with renewed energy.
Wilson explained that despite some hiccups during the morning rehearsal, the final performance went smoothly. “I don’t think there were any mistakes when we went out there,” she said. She emphasized that facing challenges in rehearsal was crucial for improvement, demonstrating her commitment and competitive spirit throughout the season.
Despite the successful routine, Wilson admitted she felt disappointed to exit the show. She had been particularly excited about the upcoming week, which featured a personal theme. “I obviously would have liked to stay a couple of weeks longer,” she said. “I’m a very competitive person, so I’m disappointed – I’m not going to lie.”
Fans praised Wilson and Vladimirov for their energy, determination, and groundbreaking partnership. The duo’s pairing has been hailed as an important step forward for diversity on Dancing with Stars, inspiring both viewers and fellow contestants.
As she departs the ballroom, Wilson reflected on her journey with pride. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform on such a high-profile platform and thanked her partner for the support and guidance he provided throughout the season.
Dancing with Stars continues on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, with the next episode airing Sunday, 1 February, at 6:30pm. Fans can look forward to seeing the remaining competitors navigate new challenges and performances in the coming weeks.
