As well as winning the 2017 series alongside her then-boyfriend Kem Cetinay, Amber has gone on to enjoy a whole lot of success, from her own Motel Rocks fashion range said to be worth £500,000, to landing a West End role for the new '9 to 5: The Musical London' AND a reality show documenting her journey there, which is kind of incredible.

After splitting the £50,000 show winning's with ex Kem and scooping up a hefty sum for just one Instagram post, Amber's had two year's to accumulate one of the highest net worth's in the hundreds of thousands ball park. The word on the street is that she can earn up to £10k per sponsored Instagram post.

Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay

AKA Bromance of the decade, these two were able to enjoy success both in their respective couples (Chris and Olivia Attwood, very much NOT on anymore) and Kem with Amber Davies, but the nation was so won over with their adorable friendship and catchphrases, the pair went on to get their own music video for 'A Little Bit Leave It' which has racked up 5 million YouTube views.

Chris got his own spin-off reality show which showed him moving into a house with Olivia Attwood (bit awks as they broke up half way through) and Kem got a presenting stint on Good Morning Britain, and Kem's had a successful podcasting stint on 'The Morning After' during this year's series.
