Legally Blonde musical star Amber Davies says she asked for an audience member who filmed a performance from the front row to be kicked out.
The ex-Love Islander posted a video on her Instagram Stories during the interval of Saturday night’s show at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin.
“We’ve got a beautiful audience, but there’s just one woman in the front row, been filming the entirety of act one, it’s had us all distracted,” she said, adding that she’d asked staff to remove the woman for act two.
Production company Royo told BBC Newsbeat it did not wish to comment further on Davies’ message.
Davies won the third series of ITV’s Love Island in 2017, and has since gone on to have a career in acting and musical theatre.
She’s currently playing lead character Elle Woods in the production of Legally Blonde touring the UK and Ireland.
Davies was still in costume, her stage microphone still in place, when she recorded her Insta post, which she called “your daily reminder not to film at the theatre”.
She said the audience member had broken the rules and “ruined the morale of our wonderful eighth show on a Saturday night from selfish actions”.
