Since winning Love Island with Kem Cetinay in 2017, Amber Davies has carved out the sort of acting career most budding performers can only dream of.
The Welsh beauty played the role of Judy Bernly in the West End musical version of 9 To 5 in 2019, where she first met her idol, Dolly Parton, before working alongside her on the ITV documentary Amber & Dolly: 9 To 5.
“My life peaked at that moment,” the 24-year-old jokes. “I don’t think it’s going up from that, to be honest.”
But we have a feeling the best is yet to come with her new CBBC series Almost Never, which sees her star alongside the likes of Aston Merrygold and Kimberly Wyatt. Plus, Amber is also preparing to tour the country in the musical adaptation of hit film Bring It On.
But Amber hasn’t forgotten where she came from, after telling us the hit ITV dating show where she found fame was the “best summer”. “Some of the life experiences I’ve had from Love Island, I’ll be forever grateful for,” she says.
Here, Amber opens up on the highs and lows of life in the public eye and proving the doubters wrong…
