Cheryl is pictured arriving at rehearsals for 2:22 A Ghost Story

Cheryl was pictured arriving at rehearsals for her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, ahead of its opening performance at the Criterion Theater on Saturday.

The singer, 39, looked gorgeous when she arrived, wearing a white puffer jacket as she got out of her car and rushed towards the theater.

And it’s no wonder she was smiling, because it’s been reported that Cheryl will pocket £750,000 for four months’ work on the London play, after taking on the role of Laura Whitmore.

Cheryl wore a cap emblazoned with The Weeknd after her ex Liam Payne revealed that their five-year-old son Bear is a huge fan of the singer.

He previously said: ‘I mean, he went to rehearse with [Cheryl] the other week for his show he put on and he stole the mic, went topless, made the dancers dance. He is obsessed with The Weeknd and Ariana Grande.

She was also carrying a Wolford lingerie brand bag in hand and a taupe leg as she walked in wearing baggy pants.

It has been claimed that Cheryl hopes to ‘reinvent herself’ with a big role on stage after a three-year hiatus out of the limelight.

A source said new! magazine: ‘Cheryl wants to reinvent herself in 2023. She was on TV all the time, she was the nation’s sweetheart. But she took a step back for a while to focus on being a mother.

‘She’s excited to be back. Some things that she has tried have not worked in the past, but this is a very exciting time for her.”

Cheryl will reportedly pocket one of the highest fees in West End history for her stint in the play, with sources claiming she’ll earn £750,000 for four months of work.

A source told The Sun: “The producers know this will get everyone talking, but it will be annoying.”

It was previously reported that Cheryl would earn at least £100,000 for her work in the play, despite facing criticism for her choice due to her lack of acting experience.

Ready for the stage? Cheryl has previously been photographed inside the theater when she got stuck in rehearsals.

Superstar: The Weeknd is known for his iconic singing voice and catchy melodies.

After signing up to appear on 106 shows, The Sun reported earlier this week that an industry booker revealed: ‘Cheryl is earning around £1,000 per show.

“The deal is for £100,000, but it will also be linked to ticket sales, so if she helps change around 80% of the seats, she’ll be entitled to more money on top of that.”

Last month, Cheryl was announced as the new lead in the popular play, taking over the role of Jenny.

Cheryl emotionally shared the news on Instagram, saying “it’s a whole new experience for me.”

The star previously played herself in the Hollywood film What To Expect When You’re Expecting and had a small role as a ruthless music agent in the 2020 film Four Kids And It.
