Frankie Bridge in West End play that 'made her scream for real' taking over from Cheryl and Lily Allen

Frankie Bridge is starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story, and has made some new revelations about the show. She took the role over from Cheryl, who in turn succeeded Lily Allen.

The West End thriller focuses on a couple who are renovating their London house. At 2.22am, Jenny, played by Frankie, hears mysterious sounds in the house and becomes convinced it's haunted.

Her and her husband eventually invite friends over and decide to stay up until 2.22am to see what happens. Frankie herself admitted to finding the show scary.

She told the Mirror: "Two times in a row, I’ve genuinely screamed. Even for me, being on stage, it makes me jump. I do believe there is something out there, and I do believe in mediums. I find them really comforting.”

The play has received rave reviews, with The Guardian writing "The suspense arrives eventually and the twist at the end is so clever, even for those who know what’s coming, that it sends us reeling back to the beginning in our minds. The production ultimately succeeds not because of its ramped up comedy but in spite of it.

Frankie Bridge is the latest actress to take on 2:22 A Ghost Story

"It will surely win audiences once again: it has entertainment value, and there are intelligent discussions about gentrification which bring depth to the ghost story as well. But there is the sense here that having become such a machine, it risks losing its heart."

Tickets for 2:22 A Ghost Story are available from Theatre Tickets Direct. They're currently on offer and start at £24 for the remaining weekdays in August and September, with weekends starting at £30.

You can also see 2:22 A Ghost Story in nine other cities. You can book tickets for the UK tour on ATG.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
