EastEnders’ Cheryl Fergison wants free studio time to record debut album

Former ‘EastEnders’ actress Cheryl Fergison has revealed plans to become a musician after writing songs for her first album.
The soap star – who played Heather Trott on the BBC show for five years until 2012 – has been working on some material for a yet-to-be recorded LP, and she has posted on social media looking for "free studio time".
Taking to Instagram, she wrote "I’ve written the songs and now just created the album cover… What do you think? I just need to record them … any free studio time going anywhere?
"I would love to record the album in different cities I’m touring in at the moment… a song recorded in each country… Scotland, Ireland England and Wales… I’m currently in Scotland… free studios?"
Cheryl last appeared on ‘EastEnders’ seven years ago when Heather was killed off by Ben Mitchell, and she went on to have roles in ‘The Spa’ and ‘Big School’.
In January last year, she publicly called out to ITV to consider her for a part on ‘Coronation Street’ or ‘Emmerdale’.
She tweeted at the time: "It seems many of the soap watching public would like to see me on the cobbles or in the dales.
"[Emmerdale and Coronation Street] worth considering if you are thinking of new characters?
"Heather was such a great character to play. Now it’s time to create a new character. Time to see a completely different character in one of the other continuing dramas."
She added: "If you would like to see me in one of the continuing dramas on tv, feel free to tweet to @ITV @itvcorrie @emmerdale @bbcrivercity @BBCHolbyCity"
