Making her stage acting debut, the Coronation Street star will be playing Miss Scarlett alongside Casualty’s Jason Durr as Colonel Mustard in the show based on the classic Hasbro board game, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.

Ellie won the hearts of the nation as she sashayed her way to victory with dance partner Vito to win the Glitterball Trophy last December. She is also known to millions of viewers as Faye Windass in Coronation Street. During her 13 years on the soap, Ellie was involved in various memorable storylines and nominated for numerous acting awards.

West End actor and TV favourite Jason Durr was most recently seen as David Hide in BBC One’s Casualty, a role he played for seven years from 2016. Audiences will also recognise him from his numerous other roles, including the motorbike-riding policeman Mike Bradley in ITV’s hugely popular series, Heartbeat.

As the bodies pile up, the colourful cast of characters – The Honourable Mrs Emerald Peacock, Colonel Eugene Mustard, ‘Professor’ Alex Plum, Miss Annabel Scarlett, ‘The Reverend’ Hal Green and housekeeper Mrs White – move from room to room, trying to escape the murderer and survive the night.

Cluedo 2 will keep audiences guessing right up to the final moment, offering budding detectives of all ages, from 8 to 80 and beyond, the opportunity to watch out for clues and unravel the secrets as they try to work out whodunnit… with what… and where!
