I was a top Towie star but I quit to go back to my day job as a hairdresser

SHE rose to fame when she appeared on Towie back in 2016.

But after getting the axe two years later, Amber Dowding has returned to her day job and is now a very successful hairdresser.

With over ten years of experience, the former reality star runs Amber Dowding hair in Essex and has an impressive roster of clients.

A wash and blow dry with Amber will set you back £35, while a wash, cut and blow dry is £55.

She was done hair for Lydia Bright, Georgia Kousoulou and also for many weddings.

During her time on the hit show, Amber romance with Chris Clark took centre stage.

They dated for two years but split just weeks after leaving the show as part of a huge reshuffle.

She insisted at the time: “Chris and I are in a really good place. We all come to a time in our lives when you’re looking for what is coming next.

“I’ll miss the people on the show, I have genuine friends on Towie. Like Tommy and Georgia – they’re my genuine friends. I’ll miss seeing them on screen but I see them all the time anyway.

“In fact, there’s nothing I won’t NOT miss, but I’m looking forward to what’s coming next.”

She went on to date a car salesman Jamie Enver, but the pair are no longer together.
