Russell Grant takes to the stage
HAVING waltzed on to our screens on last year's Strictly Come Dancing, Russell Grant is now taking to the stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The World Of Oz next week.
Speaking to Day & Night, Russell, 61, tells us that while he is nervous about his three-month stint taking over from Michael crawford he believes every actor needs to experience stage fright.
“i shall need every potion that Boots can offer,” he joked. “The rehearsals are so fast – it’s all happening. We all get stage fright – you’re bound to.
“i think if you don’t then there’s something wrong because ego and arrogance have stepped in. You just have to do your best.”
