EastEnders, Coronation Street and X Factor legends strip off fully nude for tour of raunchy play
STARS from EastEnders, Coronation Street and The X Factor will strip off for a tour of raunchy play The Full Monty, it’s been revealed.
Famous faces including Jake Quickenden, Danny Hatchard and Bill Ward have all been confirmed for the stage adaptation of The Full Monty – set to kick off in September.
Taking to Instagram to share the exciting news, Danny, 31 – who starred as Lee Carter in EastEnders – wrote: “Cat’s out the bag.
“Buzzing to be treading the boards again as Gaz in #TheFullMonty
“From September we’ll be Touring around the UK visiting every major city. Head to @fullmontyplay for ticket info.”
He shared a promo shot including himself, Jake, 34, and former Corrie star Bill, 56, as well as Neil Hurst, Ben Onwukwe and Nicholas Prasad.
Former X Factor contestant Jake commented: “Come on bro let’s go.”
Jake recently opened up to The Sun about losing his brother Oliver just months before shooting to fame on the show in 2012.
Admitting that marrying Sophie Church last year and welcoming son Leo in 2021 helped heal his broken heart, he said: “I was a bit immature before I was a dad – don’t get me wrong, I still am immature – but he’s just brought something out in me.
“He’s fixed a bit of my heart that maybe was broken when I lost my dad and my brother. He’s just helped me be a better person. He’s amazing.”
