Love Island 2017 winner Amber Davies has finally broken her silence following reports she went on a string of 'secret dates' with former One Direction fella Liam Payne.
The star, who made her much-anticipated West End debut in Dolly Parton's 9 to 5: The Musical to rave reviews last weekend, claims she's no longer 'dating' Liam but still thinks he's a 'genuinely lovely guy.'
Speaking to OK! magazine, Amber said, "Liam is a genuinely lovely guy and very down to earth considering how successful he is.
"If I messaged him and asked him for advice he would give it to me, but I'm not dating him. Liam is lovely but we're just friends."
