AceShowbiz - Louise Redknapp has secured a role in a "Friends" musical. Actually rejecting a part in the hit US comedy 25 years ago, the 47-year-old singer has now agreed to star in a parody production called "Friendsical", which is being staged in Southampton in September.
According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, the "Arms Around the World" hitmaker will make a guest appearance in the production.
"Friendsical" takes inspiration from all ten series of the hit sitcom. The show will also include some of the most well-known jokes and scenes from the TV series.
Louise previously revealed that she was actually offered a role in "Friends" in 1997. The pop star was given the chance to play Ross Geller's wife, Emily Waltham - but Louise rejected the opportunity and the role was ultimately handed to "Cold Feet" actress Helen Baxendale.
Louise - who was launching her solo career at the time - explained, "I didn't have a lot of time, and a lot of people were investing money into the album."
Louise married soccer star Jamie Redknapp in 1998 when she was one of the UK's best-known pop acts. But the high-profile couple got divorced in 2018, and she subsequently admitted that it's been a difficult few years for her.
The singer - who has Beau, 13, and Charley, 18, with her ex-husband - shared, "Anyone who has been through that knows there are good and bad days and I would never - whether it be to my friends, or in an interview to the public - make light of what I went through."
"It was really tough, and some days are still really tough. All I can do is look forward and do my best to try to get out of that."
