Lisa Faulkner on why she's excited to be returning to the stage in Single White Female
-
It has been 21 years since Lisa Faulkner starred in the play The Vagina Monologues, and now the actress is heading back to the stage in the world premiere of the theatre production of Single White Female, based on the hit Nineties psychological thriller film.
Lisa, 53, who is known for her roles in Missing You and Holby City, for co-hosting John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen with her husband, the chef John Torode, and for winning Celebrity MasterChef in 2010, can't wait to play single parent Allie opposite Kym Marsh's obsessed roommate Hedy. “I think we'll have fun,” says Lisa in this exclusive interview with HELLO!. “I’m really looking forward to playing Allie, and playing that slightly psycho character will be great for Kym. I think she'll do it brilliantly.
“We've met a couple of times and my best friend, Angela Griffin, has worked with her. Angela said: ‘You're going to get on like a house on fire; she’s lovely.’
