A Strictly Come Dancing and Coronation Street star will come to Norwich during her stage acting debut this summer.
Ellie Leach, who became the youngest Strictly champion in December, has been announced as the latest cast member of Cluedo 2.
Leach will play Miss Scarlett in the show's premiere UK tour, running at Norwich Theatre Royal from July 2 to July 6, alongside Casualty actor Jason Durr.
Leach has taken over from fellow Coronation Street alumna Helen Flanagan who was announced for the role of Miss Scarlett in December.
The company said Flanagan had been advised to withdraw for medical reasons and wished her well.
Based on the classic Hasbro board game, Cluedo 2 follows the success of the original play, Cluedo, which came to Norwich in February 2022.
Set in the swinging 60s, Cluedo 2 has a new story, a new house and new suspects.

It follows the classic colourful characters as they move from room to room trying to escape the murderer and survive the night.
Leach said: “After an incredible year I’m so excited to join the cast of Cluedo 2.
"I am delighted to make my stage acting debut as Miss Scarlett and I can’t wait to work with Jason and the talented cast.”
