Ex Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh has bagged a part in BBC daytime drama Doctors.

After quitting the flop pop band in 2001, she went on to enjoy a brief solo career and a stint on the stage.

"I learned lots from my time in the theatre and it also gave me the acting bug," Marsh, 28, told OK magazine.

"I've now signed up with an acting agent. Music is my first love and always will be. But I'd really love to do straight acting as well."

Marsh will appear in a couple of episodes later this year, playing a woman suspected of giving date rape drugs to men and robbing them

Is it today that we see her for the first time?

[Katrina]

not sure if it's Kym Marsh's first appearene today but as far as i know it Emma Samms

[iris]

she's on the 21st.
i think she's a one-epi-character...

I read it somewhere that the Mantis turned up this week...obviously wrong.

[iris]

maybe the mantis is, but as far as i remember the character kim portrays is just a suspect and they find out later that they were wrong about that.... but maybe i don't remember well...

there was the woman Jimmi thought was the Mantis. he got Greg to chat to her while he phoned the police.
