Cynics claimed that Amber was a "stunt casting" for the production - but the Welsh beauty proved them wrong last night in ITVBe's Amber and Dolly: 9 to 5.

Viewers were blown away as the star was filmed rehearsing for the stage show after landing the star role by impressing iconic country singer Dolly, 73.

Taking to Twitter, fans praised Amber's vocal range in the musical, which runs until August 31.

One shocked viewer wrote: "Wow @Amber_Davies7 that voice!! Gave me shivers.. so talented".

Dolly had no idea of Amber's reality TV fame when she cast her after seeing her audition tape, with Amber being trained as a singer from the age of six.

Speaking on Lorraine earlier this week, the star said: "I always feel like Love Island doesn’t define me as a person and I’ve trained to sing since I was six, and have always wanted to be on the West End stage.

"That ambition has now been met, and with it a life-changing meeting with country icon Dolly Parton."

Amber found fame after winning the 2017 series of Love Island with ex-boyfriend Kem Cetinay.
