Cheryl Tweedy, former EastEnders actor Jake Wood, Louise Ford and Scott Karim will star in the current run of the play at the Lyric Theatre until April 23rd.

The Girls Aloud singer has starred in the popular production since January when she took over the lead role previously portrayed by Lily Allen, Laura Whitmore and Giovanni Fletcher.

Cheryl has faced criticism for being cast in the role despite having little acting experience, but recently told Metro.co.uk that she remained unfazed.

"I can’t say that I really take it on that seriously, honestly," she said. "I think at this point in my career, I’ve heard everything I could possibly hear about myself."
