From East End To West End

Nigel HarmanNever mind EastEnders, Albert Square heart-throb Nigel Harman is about to become a West Ender.

Nigel, who plays Dennis Rickman on the soap, has signed up to star in the London production of musical Guys And Dolls.

He's due to make his debut on 5 December in the role of suave gambler Sky Masterson - currently being played by Ewan McGregor.

And he'll have another soap star to keep him company - actress Sarah Lancashire, who played Corrie's Raquel, is also joining the cast.

Nigel's an old hand when it comes to West End musicals, though.

The 32-year-old also starred in the stage hit Mamma Mia, as well as the rock musical Tommy.

But before he starts he's got to film his final scenes in EastEnders, which he'll be doing in November.

Nigel's spent two years in the soap as Dirty Den's son, and his character recently wed Sharon Watts, played by Letitia Dean.

But he quit the show after saying he didn't want to become typecast.
