Cluedo 2 - starring reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion Ellie Leach in her stage acting debut as Miss Scarlett - comes to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford from October 1 to 5.

Also starring Jason Durr from Casualty as Colonel Mustard, the show is based on the classic Hasbro board game which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.

Ellie won the hearts of the nation as she waltzed her way to the Glitterball Trophy with dance partner Vito in December. She is also known to millions of viewers as Faye Windass in Coronation Street. During her 13 years on the soap, Ellie was involved in various memorable storylines and was nominated for numerous acting awards.

Jason played David Hide in Casualty for seven years from 2016 and was motorbike riding policeman Mike Bradley in Heartbeat.

Ellie said: “I’ve really enjoyed bringing Miss Scarlett to life on stage. It’s so much fun to perform this iconic character and to see audiences of all ages having such a good time at every show.”

Jason added: “I’m delighted to be continuing as Colonel Mustard in Cluedo 2. The audience reaction during our first few weeks of performances has been fantastic.”
