Hannah Tointon joins Waitress

Hannah Tointon has joined the cast of ‘Waitress’.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress – who played Katy Fox on the Channel 4 soap – will appear in the West End musical from December 2nd, 2019 in the role of Dawn.
Laura Baldwin is currently portraying the character and will continue to do so until November 30th.
As well as news of Hannah joining the cast, current ‘Waitress’ star Lucie Jones will continue to play main character Jenna until January 25th, 2020.
The production – which is booking until March 28th, 2020 – tells the story of waitress and pie-maker Jenna who dreams her way out of a loveless marriage, and her life begins to get complicated when an attractive doctor arrives in town.
Hannah starred as Hollyoaks’ Katy – the sister of Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) – from 2007 to 2008, and in 2016 it was revealed the character had died of a drug overdose.
The ‘Inbetweeners’ star recently admitted she was thrown out of her "comfort zone" when she joined ‘Hollyoaks’ aged 18, because her co-stars were so much more "confident" than her.
She said: "That year was like my university. I was thrown in with a crowd of really confident girls and guys who were so different from me, but I just had to get on with it.
"I pushed myself out of my comfort zone but I was still the sensible one who had a tidy flat with milk in the fridge and no minidresses in my real wardrobe – as opposed to my ‘Hollyoaks’ wardrobe.
"I would go to clubs, but at that point in the evening when everyone starts singing along to some big hit, I was just opening and shutting my mouth, hoping that no one would notice I didn’t know the words.
"I did have fun and I made some good friends, but I was really glad to get home."
The former ‘Dream Team’ star felt "insecure" when she first started out in the industry because she hadn’t been to drama school.
She added: "I used to worry that I hadn’t been to drama school, which made me insecure, and was scared when I first walked on set, but I feel that less and less.
"Now I think, ‘I pushed myself; I worked.’
"I go to a dialect coach to work on accents and I work with acting coaches. I’ve also started to write, which I really enjoy. In my early 20s, I did feel like the girl who never fitted in. Now I don’t care. I’m comfortable being who I am – Joe is exactly the same."
