Meet Amber Davies

I loved primary school. My sister was four years' older than me and I loved the thought that my older sister was around no matter what. I always had a great bunch of friends at school, some I’m still friends with to this day. One story I recall, about primary school, is that I used to beg my mum to become a dinner lady. I think because a couple of the other students’ mums used to work at the school and I was so jealous. Unfortunately, she refused!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES…

When I was at school, I had something on every weekday whether it was dancing, an acting lesson or singing. I loved the social aspect of it and the girls that I met through those lessons. I would itch to get home from school and go to one of these activities and I made many friends from outside of school at those lessons.

Term Times spoke

with CBBC star Amber Davies, who is about to appear in the new musical production ‘Bring It On’ at Peterborough’s New Theatre. Here’s what she had to say.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES OF FRIENDSHIP?

I think loyalty, kindness and no judgement. All my friends know that they can come to me with anything and I have a no judgement rule; you can tell me anything and I won’t judge you.

WHEN YOU WERE A KID, WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TELEVISION PROGRAMME?

I enjoyed all the usual kid’s shows of the era but as I got older my absolute favourite show was ‘Friends’.

She's called Campbell, a very motivated character with huge dreams who just wants to succeed. She is confident with her abilities, knows how far she can push herself and that if she works super hard she should get where she wants. I really admire her because she gets somewhat lost in wanting to win as she's very headstrong. It’s a wonderful musical and Campbell is a tough cookie, who softens throughout the musical and figures out what is important. The most important thing being friendship.

WORKING WITH LOCAL STAR, LOUIS SMITH, MUST BE EXCITING, WHAT'S THAT LIKE?

I haven't spent much time with Louis yet, however, after our first photography shoot we just clicked and it feels like we’ve known each other for years. Louis has had an amazing career and been really successful, he is so down to earth and very humble. I'm really looking forward to working with him and of course there's no one more trustworthy than Louis to catch me when he's throwing me up in the air. I’m in good hands!

WHAT ADVICE HAVE YOU GOT FOR BUDDING ACTORS?

I think you have to be ambitious. I have never had limiting thoughts or thought my career will stop here. You need to reach for the stars and to believe that anything and everything is possible. If you are capable of doing it, it can happen.
