Strictly star has theatregoer thrown out mid-performance for 'selfish' behaviour

Amber Davies, a 29-year-old Strictly Come Dancing finalist and West End performer, has issued a stern warning to theatregoers. As the lead actress in the Legally Blonde UK and Ireland tour, playing the role of Elle Woods, Amber has had to deal with a disturbing trend: people filming performances in the theatre.

A recent incident at the Bord Gáis forced Amber to ask a theatregoer to leave mid-performance. The audience member, described as a woman filming the entirety of Act One, had become a distraction for the cast. This selfish behaviour had even affected the morale of the cast, particularly on a Saturday night, an evening that should be filled with excitement and joy.

The theatregoer's actions were not an isolated incident. Amber revealed that she had dealt with similar situations earlier that week in Ireland. Her message to the audience was clear: she will not tolerate theatregoers breaking the rules. Amber explained that she will count how many seats away the offender is from the exit and will ask them to leave.

The rise of social media has created new challenges for theatre-goers. People are increasingly feeling the need to document every aspect of their lives, including performances. However, this trend can be intrusive and distracting for the cast and other audience members. Amber's warning serves as a reminder that we should respect the performers and their art.

Amber's experience with Legally Blonde has not been without its challenges. She had to take time off earlier this year due to illness, a lingering chest infection that required her to finish a set of antibiotics. Fans had speculated about a feud between Amber and co-star Hannah Lowther, but Amber had dismissed these claims, stating that she was simply recovering from her illness.

The incident has sparked a conversation among theatregoers and performers about the need to respect the theatre experience. Many have spoken out in support of Amber, reminding audiences that they should not film performances. As the theatrical community continues to adapt to the challenges of social media, it is essential to prioritize respect and consideration for the performers and their art.

Amber's stern warning to theatregoers serves as a reminder that we should respect the performers and their art. The theatregoer who disrupted the performance at the Bord Gáis should have been aware of the impact of their actions on the cast and other audience members. As Amber so eloquently put it, "We don't need to film everything; let's just enjoy the two and a half hours together!"

In the end, Amber's warning is not just about theatregoers, but about the community that comes together to enjoy live performances. Let us respect the art and the performers, and not let selfish behaviour disrupt the magic of the theatre.
