Amber Davies has had to step back from her role in the Legally Blonde musical just one day after returning from a chest infection. The former Love Island winner, 29, made her comeback on Tuesday night in Canterbury but missed the Wednesday matinee performance.
Davies, who plays Elle Woods, had been away from the production for more than a fortnight after falling ill. In an Instagram post, she explained that her doctor advised her to 'walk before I run', so she will perform six shows this week instead of the usual seven.
During her absence, TikTok star Hannah Lowther covered the role. Rumours of a feud between the two actresses were denied by both parties.
Last week, Davies revealed she had been using an oxygen tank for an hour a day to speed up her recovery. The Legally Blonde tour has faced multiple setbacks, including a performance in Milton Keynes being staged as a concert due to cast illness, which left fans demanding refunds.
