Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has been forced to pull out of her West End role in Hadestown after doctors advised her to undergo a minor surgical procedure during her pregnancy.
The 40-year-old, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Mitch Hahn, announced she will miss the final performances of the musical at London's Lyric Theatre, where she has been playing Persephone.
In a statement on Instagram, Roberts described the decision as 'upsetting' and 'heartbreaking', explaining that the procedure made it impossible to continue on stage. She apologised to fans who had booked tickets for her final week.
Roberts revealed her pregnancy over Christmas, stating she and Hahn, a footballer, are five months pregnant and expecting their baby in spring. The couple got engaged in summer 2024.
