Ellie Leach – reigning champion of Strictly Come Dancing - makes her stage acting debut as Miss Scarlett in the world premiere UK tour of Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter.

Based on the classic Hasbro boardgame, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, the comic play also stars West End actor and TV favourite Jason Durr as Colonel Mustard.

Most recently seen as David Hide in BBC One’s Casualty, audiences will also recognise Jason from his numerous other roles, including the motorbike riding policeman Mike Bradley from ITV’s Heartbeat.

Following the huge success of the critically acclaimed original play, Cluedo is back on stage with a new, original comedy mystery, set in the swinging 60s.

It’s written by one of the UK’s most successful TV and stage writing duos, BAFTA Award winning writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, (Birds of a Feather, Goodnight Sweetheart and Dreamboats and Petticoats).
