Ferne McCann is set to star in a musical.
The 25-year-old star has secured the role of naughty Myrtle Wilson in the sing-a-long production 'Gatsby' - the musical version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' - but has admitted she's riddled with nerves about her new venture.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said of her new gig: "I get it, I've got to earn my stripes and I'm willing to put the work in. I'm still nervous now I've got the part!"
However, the blonde beauty shouldn't have too many problems getting into her new role as she's always had a passion for singing and even auditioned for stage school when she was younger - although she never got in.
She explained: "I sing all day long- and drive my mum and friends mad! If I see a karaoke, then I'm straight up there."
Meanwhile, the former 'The Only Way is Essex' star's career has been going from strength-to-strength over the past few months after she won over the hearts of the nation when she appeared on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' last year.
She's also landed a presenting gig on 'This Morning' where she gives the low-down on all the celebrity gossip of the day as well as making regular appearances on 'TOWIE'.
'Gatsby' will run at The Union in Southwark, London, from April 6.

Georgia May Foote is "glad" she quit 'Coronation Street'.
The 25-year-old actress, who played teenage mother Katy Armstrong in the long-running show, turned her back on the soap last year and, although she misses the cast and crew, she's thrilled she bit the bullet and left when she did.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the launch of Matalan's The Edit collection at London's Oxford Street store last night (18.03.16), she explained: "I miss the people there. I miss all my friends. I miss my on-screen family. I used to see Ian Puleston-Davies (who played her on-screen dad Owen Armstrong) more than my actual own dad. I spent a long time there. The show is an amazing show and I'm so grateful that I was part of that but as it goes for being in a soap, I kind of like the rest.
"It's quite full on - it's all day, every day - and it was scary leaving. But I'm glad I made the jump."
But the brunette beauty has admitted she hasn't ruled out a return in the future but is enjoying expanding her wings.
She said: "I would never say never but at the moment I'm happy to move away from the soaps for a little bit. I'm just trying new things, I was with it for five years so it was a long time so I'm not planning on going back as yet."

Lydia Bright will never give birth on camera.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star may be used to airing her life on screen but she's adamant she will never follow in the footsteps of other reality TV personalities and allow a camera crew to document the arrival of her future children because she doesn't want to flash her vagina to the nation.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the launch of Matalan's The Edit collection at London's Oxford Street store last night (18.03.16), she said: "There are certain things I want to keep to myself, like the birth of my child - I want to keep that because not everybody wants to see my vagina!"
And that's not the only thing the 26-year-old beauty wants to keep to herself as she really hopes her long-term boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent doesn't pop the question on 'TOWIE'.
She explained: "I feel like everyone would want it but I think we give so much to camera, which I'm not shying away from because of everything I've got from it.
"But I just think there are certain things I would like to keep to myself because with 'TOWIE', when something's happening you figure it out straight away. And because I've been doing it for so long I feel like if someone was going to propose to me, or if James was going to because it would only be him, I would clock on straight away. So it's one thing like that."

Jamie Oliver was "shocked" when he found out his wife Jools was pregnant again.
The 40-year-old chef is set to welcome his fifth child into the world with his spouse in the summer but he has admitted the baby news initially left him open-mouthed.
He explained: "This was not expected, I can't even believe I'm saying it. I think my own family were like 'really?!' But we're all tuned in to kids, it's good, it's carnage!"
The health guru - who already has Poppy Honey, 13, Daisy Boo, 12, Petal Blossom, six, and son Bussy Bear, five - is also hoping their impending arrival will be a little boy.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: "It would be nice to balance it out a bit. A bit more testosterone would probably be a good thing, but do you know what, I'm just grateful for whatever I get if it's healthy, and I mean that."
However, Jamie is adamant he won't have any more kids once his fifth is born and is even considering a vasectomy.
The couple, who got married 16 years ago, announced their pregnancy news yesterday (17.03.16) when Jools, 41, stepped about at the 'Eddie the Eagle' premiere in London with a burgeoning baby bump poking through her jumpsuit.

The late Paul Daniels spent his final days scoffing ice creams and singing to the Beatles.
The television magician sadly slipped away yesterday (17.03.16) after losing his battle with an incurable brain tumour, which he was diagnosed with four weeks ago, but his wife Debbie McGee has admitted the last few days of his life were spent chomping on Magnums and listening to music.
She explained to the BBC: "Our life has been full of laughter and that's what it's been the last few weeks up until the last 48 hours when he slipped into a sleep.
"Minutes before he slipped into that sleep, he was smiling at me and joking and singing Beatles songs ... His favourite ice cream was Magnums - we had a lot of Magnums. We watched Bradley Walsh on 'The Chase' every day at 5pm."
Paul discovered he had an inoperable tumour four weeks ago following an MRI scan after Debbie rushed him to hospital because he kept losing his balance.
He was offered radiotherapy but turned it down after doctors told him that the gruelling treatment wouldn't extend his life.
The TV star was initially being cared for at the Royal Berkshire Hospital but returned home 10 days before his death to spend his final days with Debbie, whom he married in 1988, and his sons Martin, 52, Paul, 55, and Gary, 46.

Amanda Holden claims her sex life is "non-existent".
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge admits she rarely gets to spend that much time with her beau, Chris Hughes, as he is even prioritised "after the pet fish".
She said: "We're both so busy. It's about trying to carve out a bit of time for us - we have to explain to the girls that they must go to bed and let us have time alone, which is hard. My poor husband - he's so far down the list."
The 45-year-old television personality - who has Alexa, 10, Hollie, four and also opened up about family life, admitting they are a very "traditional household".
She added: "I'm strict, but Chris isn't - the girls just laugh in his face. He tries to get me to fight his battles, and I say, 'No way, you do it.'
"We're quite a traditional household, I think. He throws them around, tickles and plays with them, and I do absolutely everything else. He's got a good deal."
And just like any other mother, Amanda loves embarrassing her children.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Every day my girls say things like, 'You're not wearing that are you?' or 'Put some make-up on,' or 'Your breath smells of coffee,' so I think I embarrass them more.
"I do this thing at the moment when I drop Lexie off at school - I wind the window down and shout, 'I love you!' and she turns round and glares at me. Or I turn the music up really loud and wind the windows down so I'm like a rapper mum. It's hilarious!"
