Imogen set for acting debut in Welsh soap

Imogen Thomas is set for her first ever acting role - in a Welsh-language soap opera.

The Big Brother 7 star has accepted an offer to appear in Pobol y Cwm, a long-running series from BBC Wales which is set near her home town of Llanelli. She will appear as herself at a VIP party to open a new garage.

She said the one-off role meant a lot to her. "I'd love to get into acting - presenting and TV work is something I want to do and it's great to be asked to appear on Pobol y Cwm," she commented. "My family watch it and I used to watch it when I was living at home.

"I felt a bit nervous especially as there were so many people around, but the producers and other actors made me feel at home and talked me through the process and I'm really excited about it. I've got some lines to say and they've even included the 'Hot Topic' and a few 'babes' as part of the script!"

The episode will be screened at 8pm on October 6 on the S4C channel.
