Love Island’s Amber Davies is more than qualified to take on country queen Dolly Parton’s hit musical 9 To 5

GRINDING axes, macho men and a script full of bickering and fighting make surprise Love Island star Amber Davies more than qualified to take on country queen Dolly Parton’s hit musical 9 To 5.

But if there was any doubts, and there were, that the reality star had the vocal skill to take on hulking heartache ballads then last night’s star studded first performance proved them all wrong.

Her superb voice and excellent comic timing left the audience stunned and earned her a place alongside seasoned West End pros.

And she was in great company with EastEnders actress Bonnie Langford as unlikely secretary seductress Roz leaving the audience in hysterics with her two hander Heart to Hart alongside comedy veteran Brian Conley.

The show, based on the 1980 film of the same name, follows three women as they try and overthrow their chauvinistic boss Franklin Hart Jnr played by Conley.

As the group get creative with ways to gang up on him, you can’t help but route for these leading ladies and hope he gets his comeuppance in the most humiliating way possible.

Boring? Mundane? Repetitive? No way, this is one 9 to 5 you’ll want to do again and again and again.
