Amber’s stage controversy

Amber’s big Legally Blonde news comes after she launched into an angry tirade against a “selfish” audience member.

Before this new role, she appeared in The Great Gatsby Musical in London’s West End.

She took to social media after someone in the crowd began filming her performance, something frowned upon in theatre.

“If you’re filming in the stalls we can see you! If you’re filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back the back of your iPhone onto us on stage.

“So to the woman filming New Money tonight, you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage.

“It takes us out of the Gatsby world because you’re filming. You’ve basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight.”
