We met the hilarious Cheryl Fergison ahead of her October panto…

We all know her from Eastenders, Heather was one of the most loved and recognised characters in soap and guess what ‘Ev’ is coming to spend some time right here on Merseyside.

Actress Cheryl Fergison will be taking up the role of the Wicked Witch of the West in St Helens Theatre Royal October half term panto ‘Wizard of Oz’, and if this interview is anything to go by it is going to be one Hell of a show.

‘Wizard of Oz’ opens just in time for October Half Term and you can catch it at St Helens Theatre Royal from Saturday 22nd October until Sunday 30th October. More info and tickets are available here. The show also stars Radio City 2 & Guide Liverpool presenter Claire Simmo and Theatre Royal favourite’s Liam Mellor & Simon Foster.

We talked Eastenders, being bumped off, starring in music videos, menopause and found out that Cheryl is actually an honorary Liverpool loving Scouser!

Wait until you hear her Scouse accent!!!

Watch the full interview where filmed at the stunning Rope Works Food & Drink at the Novotel Liverpool on Hanover Street.
