Stars congratulate Love Island winner Amber Gill as she launches new career move

Love Island legend Amber Gill can now add 'author' to her list of talents on her resume.

The reality TV star, 24, shared the cover of her debut romance novel on Friday, after publishing giants Mills & Boon signed the Geordie babe up last year.

Amber, who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating series in 2019, took to Instagram to give her fans a sneak peak of her first book, Until I Met You, and share the storyline for the first time.

The star - who is often jokingly referred to as the first solo winner of Love Island - excitedly told her 2.6million followers how much the novel means to her and how one of the characters may be autobiographical.

Amber's former villa housemates and famous pals all rushed to congratulate the new author, as she began to promote her first book on Instagram.

Posting alongside several copies of her yet-to-be released "beachy read", Amber beamed as she held her debut title while sat on a grey couch in a chic white blazer and denim shorts.

"Until I met YOU! Who ME? Waaah just received the official cover to my debut romance novel and couldn't wait to show you," she began in the caption on Friday.

"This book means so much to me and I've worked so hard with @millsandboonuk & @_nadinegonzalez on this."

Amber then went on to give fans an idea of what to expect if they pick up a copy when it is released in July this year.

She wrote: "It's about my girl Samantha who gets dumped right before going to her best friend's wedding in Tobago. She is determined on living her best single life until she meets Roman [eyes emoji] but can a holiday romance last forever?"

"I don't wanna say too much but her friends are also a VIBE and I'm excited to see if you can guess which friend I'd be in the group."

Amber concluded: "#UntilIMetYou is going to be your beachy read of the summer. It's out on the 7th of July and you can pre-order it now via link in my bio.

"I cannot wait for you to read."

Amy Hart - who appeared on the same series of Love Island as Amber -was one of the first to comment, writing: "Amazing!! Can’t wait to read it!"

Villa BFF added Anna Vakili: "proud of u!! Can’t wait to read [love heart emoji] released on my bday aswell perfect timing x."

Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison was also quick to congratulate Amber - telling her: "You look incredible!!! And so does the book."

Amber captured the nation's heart in 2019, when she and Greg O'Shea were crowned the winners of that year's series of Love Island.

The Newcastle-born star coupled up with the Irish rugby player after getting her heartbroken by Michael Griffiths thanks to the Scouse contestant getting his head turned in Casa Amor.

Amber and Greg went their separate ways not long after splitting the £50,000 cash prize.
