At this week’s Great Gatsby musical performance, Love Island winner Amber Davies issued a warning to fans about a “selfish” audience member.
Theatre star Amber Davies hit out at a “selfish” member of the audience in the middle of the Great Gatsby musical this weekend. The Love Island winner shared a message for fans after someone “ruined” part of her performance.
Amber, 28, is one of the cast members for the London Coliseum production of the well-known play, which is based on the book of the same name. In the limited run, the actor portrays Jordan Baker, whose songs include New Money.
During last night’s show, Amber issued a warning to those attending the musical after being distracted by someone in the audience. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen

Amber filmed the message on her Instagram Story whilst backstage. The performer, who is starring alongside the likes of Corbin Bleu and Rachel Tucker in the show, hit out over “selfish” behaviour from some people in theatres.
In the video, she stated, “This is a PSA.” The more obvious it is to film a performance the closer you are to the stage. The entire stalls are in this place. Then, she said, “We can see you if you’re filming in the stalls”!
The Dancing on Ice star went on to share what she can see whilst performing, saying: “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.”
Amber continued: “If you’re filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back off your … the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see.” She then criticised one particular audience member.
She said: “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 urged people to “be kind and selfless. Stop capturing images of shows. She continued, “Tell someone to stop filming while they are on stage because it’s obscene because it’s obscene.”
The former islander continued, “Also, I will independently count the number of seats back you are, tell our stage manager where you’re sitting, and what shade of hair you have, and trust me, they will occasionally ask you to delete the footage so you’ve essentially done it for nothing.”
Amber concluded the video by confirming that she was filming the video periodically and that she would be returning to the stage soon for the second act. She declared, “Act Two will be fun to me now.”
