The former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl is to follow in the footsteps of pop star Lily Allen and make her West End acting debut in the thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
The star, formerly known as Cheryl Tweedy, will play Jenny, who believes her new home is haunted, in the hit play by Danny Robins. “I am really excited to be taking part in what is such a new challenge,” said Cheryl who described herself as “a big fan of theatre”. The star said that Robins’ style of writing “has an odd sense of familiarity to me, being a fellow Geordie” and Robins added: “We grew up very close to each other in Newcastle so I can’t wait to hear Jenny with a Geordie accent.”
