As a dedicated follower and admirer of Cheryl Fergison’s remarkable acting journey, I find her resilience and determination truly inspiring. Her life experience, marked by highs and lows, has been nothing short of captivating.

After being compelled to part with her BBC scripts due to financial necessities, beloved EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has landed a new job.

In 2012, actress Cheryl Fergison, known for her role as Heather Trott, was let go from the soap opera after her character became a victim in a murder mystery plotline.

The actress openly acknowledged facing difficulties securing acting roles following her departure from the soap, which led her to offer memorabilia for sale on Instagram.

Instead, it’s been disclosed that Cheryl is set to play the role of the Fairy Godmother in a Cinderella performance taking place in Peterborough over the Christmas season.

Sharing an update to Instagram, she uploaded a poster of the pantomime and some backstage photos. 

This week, a soap star shared with OK! Magazine that she’s been listing items for sale online to help make ends meet.

Cheryl said: ‘There is unofficial merchandise being sold either online or in various places, I wanted to give true fans a chance to have something of my era at EastEnders. 

It’s essential to understand that we must work to make a living; not everyone is constantly filming or pursuing their professional passion, as it requires training and opportunities.

‘I prioritize avoiding trouble and making ends meet, so I’ll keep buying and selling, even if £50 seems small to some. This money can be crucial for covering bills, keeping a roof overhead, and ensuring food is on the table, much like any working individual. And, of course, I will pay taxes on it.’

Previously, it had been disclosed that Cheryl wept upon learning she wouldn’t be part of the soap opera set in Walford anymore.

At that point, she shared with Best Magazine: “It was a day filled with both sweetness and bitterness. For every gain, there’s always a loss to follow!

‘When they told me Heather was for the chop, (the boss) had to get me a tissue. 

In a turn of events, character Heather belonging to Cheryl got killed by Ben Mitchell. The incident happened when Ben, attempting to escape Walford, robbed Heather, ultimately leading him to spend four years behind bars for the murder.

Earlier, Heather proposed an intriguing idea about revisiting the Square. She hinted that she might reappear as twin sisters of her character, whom she was parted from at birth.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain in 2012, Cheryl hinted at potential future roles in soap operas, expressing her interest in making guest appearances on Emmerdale or Coronation Street.

She said: ‘ You’ve got people with funny bones up there.I wouldn’t mind getting in another one of those soaps again. Corrie or Emmerdale. A long lost Dingle.’

It appears that a significant number of soap opera viewers are eager for me to appear in Coronation Street or Emmerdale. Now, it’s high time I develop a fresh character. Let’s explore the possibility of showcasing an entirely new persona within one of the other long-running series.
