Caroline Flack is eyeing up her ‘dream role’

Since her big comeback on Strictly Come Dancing, it’s safe to say that Caroline Flack has her pick of jobs right now.

While she’s currently busy shooting the new series of The X Factor with partner-in-crime Olly Murs (hurray!), word on the street is that she’s eyeing up another big role.

Yes, it seems that the unstoppable Caroline has set her sights on the West End, and she’s apparently sizing up the part of Roxie Hart in Chicago in the new stage production of the much-loved movie.

A source shared the news this weekend with The Sun, revealing that the 35-year-old has been secretly preparing for her audition for months.

“This is Caroline’s absolute dream role. Her time on Strictly reignited her passion for performing. That’s why she’s prepared to put herself through an audition,” the source said.

They added: “She is hosting X Factor and Love Island for ITV so it’s not like she needs the work, it’s just a project she’s very passionate about. She understands the risk of the audition and the fact it means she might not get the role.”

It seems that Caroline has pulled out all the stops in her bid to bag the role, having enlisted the help of director Tom Attenborough and vocal coach Claire Underwood as part of her preparations.

Chicago is one of our all-time favourites, and we think the fabulous Caroline would rock out as Roxie. What do you think?
