She’s been taken off the show’s website so definitely true. Was looking forward to seeing what a camp mess she was gonna be to be honest…

Another stunt cast fail, and what of the people who have booked to see her? Who could possibly have predicted this...

‘Knee injury’ read ‘producers realised it was going to be a car crash’
The line about needing less rehearsal is hilarious.
Mama Morton doesn’t dance in the show: Pretty sure they could’ve wheeled her on at this late stage:
Wonder if the ‘hordes’ who booked specifically to see her will get their money back?

Personally relieved. Booked months back before she was announced and was feeling pretty conflicted about going…

Sells with or without her it seems. The opera house this week is all but completely sold out. Handful of singles available in the gallery. Unless people bought for this week thinking she was going to be in it?

Are they likely to dig out a new name/stunt cast to try and pacify those who had booked for GC, do we think? I'd have thought they would if they're sensible, but if they were sensible they wouldn't have cast her in the first place...!

100% will be a stunt cast. Maybe Sinitta will extend

I love how they cite her “travelling across the country” as being an issue for her knee when she completed her own solo UK Tour a few weeks ago (which probably would’ve been a more gruelling schedule than 1 travelling day each week).

Though not in so much pain that she couldn't walk around the Chelsea Flower Show or go the launch of her new clothing line yesterday.

Maybe the whole thing was a massive PR stunt and she was never really going to be in it.

I'd guess they try to get Sinitta back or extend Sheila Ferguson or just give the U/S a run. The show has several other names in it so no need for stunt casting.

If they Celebrity stunt cast Kerry Katona in, well.... anything- especially live theatre, I'd have to seriously question some of my life decisions.

I mean I honestly can't say I'm entirely surprised, but I thought she'd at least make it to opening night.
To give her the benefit of the doubt, ok maybe it's her knee. But there is a precedent that has been set by actors who have dropped out of shows beyond their ability with the excuse of an injury.
I honestly just can't see her adapting in any way to theatre discipline or the lifestyle it entails.
