Daisy Wood-Davis has landed a role in ‘Hair the Musical’.
The 28-year-old actress – who departed Channel 4 soap ‘Hollyoaks’ earlier this year after playing Kim Butterfield since 2014 – will star opposite Jake Quickenden, and Marcus Collins in the upcoming 50th anniversary tour of the production.
Daisy will take on the role of Sheila in the show, and ‘Dancing on Ice’ winner Jake will portray Berger, with former ‘X Factor’ finalist Marcus starring as Hud.
The tour will begin at the New Wimbledon Theatre on March 21, 2019, before moving on to the likes of Cheltenham, Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birmingham.
Daisy’s casting comes just weeks after it was claimed she had been shooting scenes for ‘Holby City’ ahead of a guest stint in the medical drama.
She is said to have been on the set shooting an episode last month which is due to air in spring 2019.
Daisy is expected to take on the role of Phoebe Crowhurst, the on-screen sister of Evan, who will be played by newcomer and former ‘EastEnders’ actor Jack Ryder.
She teased her Twitter followers about the role, as she re-tweeted a selfie with a fan and dropped a hint about her next role.
Daisy coyly said: "Met some @Hollyoaks fans at a certain other tv studio I’ve been filming in this week… they’re everywhere! (sic)"
Following her ‘Oaks’ exit, the actress called for a ‘Hollyoaks’ spin-off with Jessica Ellis involving their two characters, Kim and Tegan Lomax, who died after being struck by a tree.
She recently wrote on Instagram: "Tegan, I’m gonna miss you but I’m so glad you brought me Jess! I cannot wait to see where your talent takes you next, the world is your oyster! I’m going to carry on crying now at that e4 episode + if you missed it, tune in tomorrow at 6.30pm ch4! Well done to all involved and JESSICA ELLIS- YOU SMASHED IT! I love you xxx ps. How about a Kim + Tegan spin off?! (sic)"
