Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba and Love Island star Amber Davies have teamed up for the UK and Ireland tour of West End musical Pretty Woman – and we've now got our first look at both on stage.

Amber, who's starred in the Back to the Future and 9 to 5 musicals since appearing on Love Island, plays Vivian Ward – the role made famous by Julia Roberts in the 1990 film.

Ore, whose previous theatre credits include The Rocky Horror Show and Grease, will also star as hotel manager Mr Thompson/Happy Man in the touring production.

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

The tour opened at Birmingham's Alexandra Theatre, and continues there until Saturday (October 28) before moving on to Bristol's Hippodrome Theatre from October 31 until November 11.

Previous teaser photos showed the cast in costume for their new theatre roles, with Amber appearing in the infamous red dress worn by Roberts in the movie.

The West End production of Pretty Woman starring Danny Mac and Aimie Atkinson ended with a final performance on June 13. Tickets for the touring production are on sale now.
