Amber Davies praises boyfriend for helping her with body acceptance
Amber Davies has praised her boyfriend for helping her to love her body.
The 27-year-old West End star met her actor boyfriend Ben Joyce when they performed in 'Back To The Future: The Musical' and Amber says his love has helped her to love herself.
She told The Sun: "It took me a while to get here.
“Especially because I came out of the 'Love Island' villa when I was 20 and social media was only just kicking off then.
“So I’ve lived my twenties through the high of social media.
“Falling in love with my body is part of being in a healthy relationship.
“My boyfriend loves me no matter what, and that has really transferred to my relationship with myself and my body.”
Amber is in the best shape of her life and wants to flaunt her newly toned figure on 'Dancing On Ice'.
The former 'Love Island' star is excited to show off the results of her gruelling rehearsals in a series of sexy outfits and doesn't care about the criticism.
She said: "As long as the costume fits the narrative of the routine we’re trying to perform, then that’s all I care about.
“When I had the meeting about costumes, hair and make-up, I said, ‘Please throw me in at the deep end’.
“I don’t want to wear anything that I would normally wear.
“I want to be wearing colours that I’d never really go for, and I want it to be bigger and bolder because that is a part of this experience — the looks, the make-up, the hair.
"I have a skater’s bum now.
“I have been part of the flat bum community all my life, until about four months ago.
“I never thought that I’d be able to build muscle there because genetically the Davies family are just not graced with great bums, but I can see a little peach growing.
“Even my boyfriend said the other day, ‘Oh, you look good in those jeans!’."
