Former EastEnders icon Cheryl Fergison has swapped her acting career for a surprising new career. Cheryl was best known for playing fan favourite Heather Trott on the popular BBC soap from 2007 to 2012, where her character was involved in a number of dramatic storylines. However, following her departure from the show, acting gigs for the talented 56 year old, who is married to Yassine Al-Jermoni, unfortunately dried up.
And now the former soap star has become a singing teacher and is giving voice lessons, including one-on-one Zoom courses on singing and songwriting, to eager students for £60 an hour. Cheryl advertises her classes on TikTok, with one post for prospective students reading: "You will have an hour with me where you can choose the subject/s that are of interest. "It is important that these 1-2-1 sessions are tailor made just for you." Cheryl also offers her services in script reading, scriptwriting, screen acting, stage acting, confidence-building and character building.
In another TikTok post, Cheryl also said she would speak on her experience on shows such as EastEnders. She promised she would reveal "how a soap is put together for your viewing and how I developed the character of Heather Trott." Two years earlier, Cheryl explained that she struggled to find roles after leaving EastEnders because she was typecast as her role of Heather. "Heather is hard to shake.
I got fairy parts when I left EastEnders in pantos because Heather was lovely and kind," she said. However, in November last year, she revealed she was making her grand return to screens alongside Sheridan Smith and David Walliams. She will also star in Catherine Tate's upcoming comedy Hard Cell, which will hit Netflix on April 12.
