Michelle is back in Glasgow next week to play Miss Scarlett in Cluedo, a stage version of the popular board game 🎭
Some of the best times of her life, says actor Michelle Collins, were spent in Glasgow, touring with a pop group and staying in a “cheap B&B” on Sauchiehall Street in the 1980s.and screen star, most famous for playing Cindy Beale in EastEnders and Stella Price in Coronation Street, was a backing singer with Mari Wilson and the Wilsations, and she has many fond memories of that period in her life.“And I’m not knocking cheap B&Bs, by the way.
"I think, coming out of the pandemic and still facing some big, big challenges in our lives, it’s just what we all need - pure escapism."“I’m also loving getting dressed up every night,” she says, adding with a grin: “Although it’s hard work. I did a play once in which I had to wear a dressing gown all night, every night, and it was actually very liberating.”
Michelle was doing her A levels at college when she got her first acting job on the London Fringe, at Notting Hill’s Gate Theatre. Michelle played Abby, a young mother of two who convinces her friend, Kenny, played by Kaye, to pretend to be her husband so she can move to a remote Scottish island which is in desperate need of families to save the local primary school from closing.
