Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba and Love Island star Amber Davies have teamed up in a new project.

The reality TV contestants have been cast in the UK and Ireland tour of West End musical Pretty Woman, with Amber playing Vivian Ward - the role made famous by Julia Roberts in the 1990 film.

Ore will star as hotel manager Mr Thompson/Happy Man in the touring production which begins in mid October 2023.

Amber's love interest, Edward Lewis (aka Richard Gere in the film) is being played by West End actor Oliver Savile, who's theatre credits include Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Cats.

Amber has also amassed an impressive theatre background following her winning stint on Love Island in 2017. The stage actress has appeared in new musicals 9 to 5 and Bring It On, and is currently appearing as Lorraine Baines in Back to the Future the musical.

Their debut performance will take place at Birmingham's Alexandra Theatre on October 17, 2023.
