Jennifer Ellison is returning to the West End to play an air hostess.

The ex-Brookside actress has taken a role in airborne comedy Boeing Boeing.

She will join former EastEnder Tracy-Ann Oberman at the Comedy Theatre. The play is about an architect with three fiancees.

Ellison, who previously played Roxie Hart in Chicago, will return to the stage in October.

In July she dumped her long-term boyfriend after reports he cheated on her.
