Cheryl Fergison, beloved for her role as Heather Trott in the popular soap EastEnders, is set to return to the stage in a new play titled 'Living The Life Of Riley.' This stage production is notable for featuring Katie Price, who introduces the performances via a video message each night. Price's involvement adds a unique touch to the play, which tackles the challenges faced by families when a child is diagnosed with autism, a topic that is particularly poignant for Price, whose own son, Harvey, has autism.

Fergison's career took a downturn after her character was killed off in EastEnders in 2012, but she is now eager to make a comeback in the theatre scene. In her recent writings, she shared personal struggles, revealing that she had lost a substantial sum of money in a scam that left her in financial distress. This new opportunity in theatre not only marks a significant return for the actress but also underscores her resilience and ability to navigate the challenges of life after television fame.

The play itself has gained acclaim and is expected to resonate with audience members, bringing awareness to autism and its impacts on families, while showcasing the talents of both Fergison and Price. As they tour around the UK, the collaboration between these two public figures promises to attract fans from both their respective careers in entertainment, making it a noteworthy event on the theatre schedule this season.
