Alexandra Burke is off to the West End. She'll take over from Beverley Knight in the lead role of The Bodyguard. The X Factor winners says she 'couldn't be more excited' about the new project.
She said: ''I couldn't be more excited about joining the cast of The Bodyguard and to play the iconic role of Rachel Marron will be a dream come true. I am a massive Whitney Houston fan so to be given the opportunity to play a role made famous by her every night will be a real privilege. I start rehearsals very soon with my fellow cast mates and the brilliant creative team and, with a little trepidation, I am looking forward to our first performance in June.''
