Monday, 14 June 2010
Sweet Charity star Tamzin Outhwaite is to become a judge on a TV talent show, it has emerged.
The 39-year-old is set to become part of a panel on Five's Don't Stop Believing, which is billed as somewhere between The X Factor and Glee.
According to the Sun, Outhwaite will be joined by singer Anastacia and High School musical choreographer Charles 'Chucky' Klapow, as well as Duncan James from Blue.
James also has West End pedigree, having recently appeared in the hit musical Legally Blonde opposite Sheridan Smith.
Commenting on the new reality TV show, Five's head of entertainment Donna Taberer said: "Each judge will be a huge asset to our groups."
Outhwaite has received a string of glowing reviews since Sweet Charity transferred to the West End, including one from the Independent's Michael Coveney, who called her "a revelation".
He added that the show itself is a "blistering revival" which is superior to the original version from the 1960s.
