The brand new album, Songs From The Stage, will feature show tunes from the likes of Cats, Rent, Memphis and The Bodyguard.

The girls coming together is the result of the 44-year-old star making the most of life after she underwent treatment for Uterine Fibroids.

Beverley said: "I never thought I'd be that person to have some big, life-changing operation. Then I became that person.

"You get one shot, so suddenly you're thinking of opportunities.

"Since the op, I'm just like, 'Bring it!' Whatever the universe puts in my lap, I'm ready. And this has been a phenomenal thing to put in my lap."

The star recently visited the young cast of the musical Memphis, currently playing at the Arena Theatre in Wulfruna Street.
