Jessie set to hit the Grand

Strictly Come Dancing star Jessie Wallace is set to grace a stage in Wolverhampton next month – but her appearance will depend on her success in the hit show.

The former EastEnders actress is due to form part of the all-female cast of the Vagina Monologues at the Grand Theatre on October 18 alongside Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson.

But theatre bosses say she will pull out of the stage show if still competing in the BBC1 contest.
