Here, our Tom Bryant recalls seeing Amber dance in Nashville...

In 2018, I ended up with her in a grimy bar. It was only 3pm but the drinks had been flowing like the Mississippi for hours.

A small crew, including Amber and I, had been up for 10 hours after an early start, interviewing Dolly Parton. Funny and modest Amber had lined up a chat ahead of starring in 9 to 5: the Musical.

In the bar later a singer began belting out Jolene. Amber - drink in hand - jumped on the deserted dancefloor and strutted her stuff.
