Ex Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh has bagged a part in BBC daytime drama Doctors.
After quitting the flop pop band in 2001, she went on to enjoy a brief solo career and a stint on the stage.
"I learned lots from my time in the theatre and it also gave me the acting bug," Marsh, 28, told OK magazine.
"I've now signed up with an acting agent. Music is my first love and always will be. But I'd really love to do straight acting as well."
Marsh will appear in a couple of episodes later this year, playing a woman suspected of giving date rape drugs to men and robbing them.
