Jaime Winstone takes over from Cheryl in 2:22 A Ghost Story alongside Sophia Bush, as the brand new cast is finally revealed

Jaime Winstone will be taking over from Cheryl as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story alongside Sophia Bush, it has been revealed.

The West End thriller relies heavily on what’s known as stunt casting – where a celebrity, often with little or no acting experience, is given a role to sell tickets.

A range of big celebrity names have taken the stage in the rotating cast, including Cheryl, Lily Allen, Laura Whitmore and Tom Felton.

Now actress Jaime, 37, has become the latest star to star in the thriller play as she will take on the role of Cheryl’s Jenny at the Apollo Theater in May.

One Tree Hill actress Sophia, 40, joins Jaime on stage as she takes on the role of Lauren in the hugely popular West End show.
