Cheryl was overcome by emotion on stage in London at the weekend, as the Geordie star ended her final performance in hit West End 2:22 A Ghost Story, before penning an emotional post to reflect on her time in the show.
The Girls Aloud star was full of excitement at the end of last year when she announced she'd be following in the footsteps of Laura Whitmore, Lily Allen and Giovanna Fletcher by playing Jenny in the critically acclaimed thriller. Cheryl tread the boards for the first time in the role back in January, as former EastEnders star Jake Wood was brought in at the last minute to replace an ill cast member.
Cheryl was showered with largely positive reviews from the critics who took their seats to see her. The Times review applauded Cheryl for making a 'confident debut,' while, reviewing for The Guardian, Arif Akbar wrote: "As her own X Factor moment, it is respectable enough for a first go, if blunt-edged: big on volume and sudden, thunderous anger," adding: "Cheryl convincingly plays rattled new mother Jenny."
