Michelle McManusMichelle McManusSay hello to Michelle McManus the virgin.

And she'll be flaunting it on stage, too.

No, these aren't confessions on a theatre floor.

But rather, the 2003 Pop Idol winner is set to play the Virgin Mary in a new musical role.

Mich has landed a role in a disco version of the nativity story, called Discotivity, and she'll be the leading lady.

Before you cast your minds back to the disco dudes and dudettes of old, a la Saturday Night Fever, Discotivity will be a whole new (mirror) ball game.

The production will apparently be a panto-style show set to disco tunes and will tell the story of the birth of Jesus.

It'll run in Edinburgh and then hit London's West End at the end of the year.

Mich said: "People may be surprised that I've chosen to play this role but I loved the script.

"I felt this was a great challenge and would be a lot of fun as well."

Go and see Mich, along with other stars who've hit the stage, in our gallery.
