Amber Davies lets rip at 'selfish' audience member who 'ruined' West End performance
Amber Davies says she will demand the theatre manager takes action the next time she sees anyone filming the production and explained why it impacts those of stage so much Angry actress Amber Davies launched a furious tirade at a 'selfish' audience member who wrecked her West End show. The former Love Island star is appearing in The Great Gatsby Musical in London and she had a lengthy rant after someone in the stalls decided to film the production. Amber explained in detail while recording from your seat is such an issue - and it doesn't just irritate those who pay to see the performance. Amber, who has also played Vivian Ward in the stage show of Pretty Woman, took to Instagram to make her point, and the Welsh star didn't hold back. She told the woman filming to think of others as well as those performing - and says she'll get security to act the next time she sees a person doing it. It comes after Katie Price worried fans with appearance in family photo after explaining her weight loss. "This is a PSA," she said in a video on the social media platform. "The closer you are to the stage when you're watching a show the more obvious it is when you're filming. This is the entire stalls. If you're filming in the stalls we can see you! "From someone who's on stage, I just wanna tell you a little bit about what we see. So we see like a dark canvas and outlines of people's heads. If you're filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see. "So to the woman filming New Money tonight, you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage. And not only that, it takes us out of the Gatsby world because you're filming and you've basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight." Amber went on to ask: "Please don't be selfish. Stop filming shows. If someone is filming during a show know that this is the consequences that it has to the people on stage and tell them to stop because honestly it's annoying. "Also, I single-handedly will count how many seats back you are and tell our stage manager where you're sitting and what colour hair you've got, and trust me, in the interval they will come and ask you to delete the footage so you've basically done it for nothing. Okay, I'm gonna enjoy act two now." The 29-year-old has since gone on to build an impressive career as a West End actor, landing roles in everything from Bring it On! to Back to the Future. Amber is now using her public platform to raise awareness of drink spiking after she fell victim to it years ago. She hopes that by sharing her ordeal with others, she can help people recognise the signs of it the criminal offence and protect themselves and their loved ones. The Love Island recalled the terrifying incident during a night out in North Wales in 2018, which she has since called an "out of body experience." Amber shot to fame in 2017 as the winner of the third series of the ITV dating reality show alongside her then-partner, Kem Cetinay, after the pair delighted viewers with their adorable relationship. However, shortly after reaching huge reality fame, Amber's drink was spiked during a night out which "took a turn for the worst" and she was rushed to A&E.
