Abi Titmuss lands 'Macbeth' role

Rex Features

Glamour model Abi Titmuss has been cast in a Seagull Theatre production of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The Celebrity Love Island star will appear as Lady Macbeth at the Lowestoft venue on November 18. She will also tour theatres in Sudbury, Bungay, Halesworth and Norwich for one-off shows.

"There is no stunt casting - this is someone who is earning her stripes," said artistic director John Hales. "She is a really, really good actress and that was one of the main considerations as we needed a strong female lead.

"To those who have not seen her she will be a wonderful surprise. She brings depth and heart to it and she will move people."

Titmuss is currently working on a production of John Godber's Up and Under in Hull.
