The podcaster, broadcaster, writer, and series 20 winner of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, will take on the role of Rachel Watson in the show's upcoming UK tour.

“I am delighted to be leading the company of The Girl on the Train as Rachel Watson at venues across the UK next year," said Fletcher.

"Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller has gripped millions of readers worldwide with its Hitchcockian tale of suspense and mystery. What better place than the theatre to take us through its voyeuristic window and deep into Rachel’s story?”

For those more familiar with Fletcher's writing and broadcast career, the Happy Mum Happy Baby host has appeared in UK tour of Peter James’ Wish You Were Dead, plus the 2021 cast of 2:22 A Ghost Story. On the upcoming tour, she will only perform for the start of the show's run, finishing at Cheltenham on 29th March. Further casting and dates have yet to be announced.

The stage drama is based on Paula Hawkins's best-selling novel, which later became a film starring Emily Blunt.

It follows Rachel and her obsession with watching the same couple from her commuter train window. The two seem perfect, but when the woman she watches goes missing, Rachel can't stop herself from getting involved, and soon becomes wrapped up in a terrifying mystery.

Adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, the play first opened in the UK back in 2018. Following the announcement of its return the creatives said: "We’re thrilled that it’s coming back for this UK-wide tour. We’re really excited to be working with Giovanna Fletcher, playing the leading role of Rachel Watson, in Loveday Ingram’s powerful and stylish production.”
