About this episode

Amber Davies shares her recent personal challenges and triumphs in a candid solo episode.

We have a special solo episode of Call To Stage this week - as Amber opens up about her life recently. Fresh off a difficult few weeks that have taken a real toll physically and emotionally, Amber sits down to share her side of the story in full: the illness, the press, the online trolling, and everything in between. Amber also opens up about winning a WhatsOnStage Award for her performance as in The Great Gatsby — a role she describes as the most important contract of her career. She also gets candid about the physical cost of going from Strictly Come Dancing straight into rehearsals for Legally Blonde with only a ten-day turnaround, and the chest and sinus infection that forced her off stage mid-run. Amber also speaks openly about the wave of negative press and online trolling she has faced since being cast as Elle Woods - and she sets the record straight. She talks about finding her coping mechanisms, the importance of using her platform to speak out, and why she refuses to let it overshadow her dream role and the best year of her life.
