Amber Davies has broken her silence on an alleged feud with her Legally Blonde co-star Hannah Lowther amid rumours of ‘backstage tension’

Amber Davies has broken her silence on her alleged feud with her Legally Blonde co-star Hannah Lowther. The former Love Island star has been forced to pull out of her starring role as Elle Woods.

Giving an update to fans about her ill health, she wrote on Instagram earlier today: “Ok update: after talking to my DR, being on antibiotics and trying to recover whilst doing shows is getting me and my health NOWHERE. Been working on this lingering illness for a month now so I’ll be off again from my beautiful Elle Woods.

“This is the last thing I want but there’s no other way. I fear if I keep “pushing through” I will be battling with this for longer than I need to be. I can’t wait to be back on stage and feel like me again!!!”

However, there have been rumours about a feud between Amber and her co-star Hannah Lowther. Hannah found fame on TikTok in the pandemic and is a successful musical theatre star.

Insiders have said to the Daily Mail that “tension” had developed backstage after audiences seemed to be preferring Hannah’s portrayal of Elle over Amber’s. A source said: “When Hannah goes on, the energy is completely different.

“She gives it ten times more energy than Amber ever has, and just has that sparkle that Amber lacks. Everyone backstage is professional, but it would be fair to say the atmosphere between the two girls can be a bit tense at times.”

Now, Amber has appeared to address the feud head on. Taking to Instagram to comment on Hannah taking on the role, she also shared a personal message to Hannah, writing: “An extra special appreciate message to @hannahlowther who has given me all the grace and space to be poorly and recover. The show is in safe hands ALWAYS.”

Amber previously spoke out to defend herself, given her hectic schedule in the recent months. She added: “Also I keep having to remind myself I went from Gatsby, to a last min Strictly, then to Elle so my body’s evidently fighting for its life.

“I also keep reminding myself that it’s ok to be poorly, we are human. Just a reminder there’s absolutely never a right time to be poorly in a musical theatre schedule so you must, for your own sanity, go with the flow!”

At the time of writing, Hannah has not responded to the post but confirmed she would be playing Elle this evening.

The band consists of Samuel Preston ‘aka Preston’, along with Charles “Chuck” Stanley, James Gregory and Matthew Powers.

The band is set to return to live music next month after a decade’s hiatus to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

They will be performing a number of intimate gigs in Worthing, Bristol, Darwen and Portsmouth.

But first they will be kicking things off with a special show in London at the Strongroom Bar – and fans can get tickets for as little as £20.

The group will also be making an appearance this summer at Chester’s Together Again Festival at Bolesworth Castle.

In a bid to reinvent themselves ahead of the shows, the singers were seen sporting their striking hairdo for a new poster.

The Ordinary Boys are best known for their 2006 UK Top 10 hits Boys Will Be Boys.

Their collaboration with Lady Sovereign titled Nine2Five was also a hit.

They also released a number of other tracks during the mid-2000s including I Luv U, Lonely at the Top, and Talk Talk Talk.

Preston is arguably the most well known member of the group thanks to his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006.

The singer went on to marry fellow housemate Chantelle Houghton after meeting on the show, but split just a year later.

Preston’s ex Chantelle told The Sun last year: “I think everyone loves a romance love story don’t they.

“I think a house romance would definitely make it easier for you, because you’ve got that person haven’t you.

“Whereas if you have no real friendship or connection, you’re sort of there on your own and it’s quite lonely and there’s a lot of mind games.
