However, owing to illness, Beverley has had to pull out of the touring production, which starts in February.

Beverley said: “I am so sorry that I will be unable to do this fantastic show, but I aim to be back on my feet in no time. I am well on the way to recovery and look forward to seeing you all soon.”

Margi Clarke will now play the lead role in this comedy paying tribute to all ladies over a “certain age”.  It's the second time in a few weeks that Margi has stepped in to cover Bev's stage role.  She recently covered Bev's part in pantomime.
