Cheryl joined in 2:22 A Ghost Story cast by EastEnders star as London show suffers illness blow

Cheryl will now share the stage in 2:22 A Ghost Story with a famous EastEnders actor, after it has been confirmed that Jake Wood is joining the cast of the hit London show.

While the latest rum of 2:22 A Ghost Story won't officially begin until the start of February, with Cheryl as Jenny, its previews started at the weekend. However, the show has already suffered a big illness blow as Hugo Chegwin has had to pull out, after becoming ill during rehearsals.

Confirming his absence, the Ivor Novello award-winning producer and actor, said: "I've had the flu. Due to being poorly during the rehearsal period, I've had to pull out of the play. I'm absolutely gutted about this and I wish everyone involved in the play the best of luck. The cast are truly amazing."
