A Coronation Street star will make her stage debut in the UK tour of a new comedy-mystery play heading to Norwich Theatre Royal.

Helen Flanagan, best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, has been cast as Miss Scarlett in Cluedo 2 - The Next Chapter, which is in Norwich from July 2 to 6 2024. 

Based on the classic Hasbro board game, it 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.
