The Welsh lass is currently starring in The Great Gatsby Musical in London until the show wraps at the London Coliseum next month.
Yet after the first act of the action-packed show, which is based on the F Scott Fitzgerald tome, Amber took to her social media page in a furious rant.
Still in-character and donning a auburn-coloured wig, she issued a warning on Instagram.
It came after she spotted an audience member filming from her seat and she added the text: “Stop filming shows, stop being selfish,” on her slide.

Amber then spoke direct to camera and said: “This is a PSA. The closer you are to the stage when you’re watching a show the more obvious it is when you’re filming.
“This is the entire stalls. If you’re filming in the stalls we can see you!
“From someone who’s on stage, I just wanna tell you a little bit about what we see.
“So we see like a dark canvas and outlines of people’s heads.

“If you’re filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back off your … the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see.”
Talking about one song in particular, she continued: “So to the woman filming New Money tonight – you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage.

“And not only that, it takes us out of the Gatsby world because you’re filming and you’ve basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight.”
Amber, who won Love Island, added in an emotional plea: “Please don’t be selfish. Stop filming shows.
“If someone is filming during a show know that this is the consequences that it has to the people on stage and tell them to stop because honestly it’s annoying.
“Also, I single-handedly will count how many seats back you are and tell our stage manager where you’re sitting and what colour hair you’ve got, and trust me, in the interval they will come and ask you to delete the footage so you’ve basically done it for nothing.
