Soap actress Stephanie Davis is hoping to becoming the next Rihanna as she launches a pop career.
Speaking to The Sun, the ex Hollyoaks babe revealed that she originally came from a more musical background.
She said: “People forget I started off singing on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s talent shows so I hope to be one of the few soap actors who make it as a singer.
“I started off in musical theatre and I write and record all the time. I have a lot of meetings with producers.”
She added that she draws influence from superstar Rihanna as well as Irish band The Script.
Stephanie was sacked from Hollyoaks after she allegedly turned up to set drunk on numerous occasions.
In an official statement, the soap said: “Stephanie’s contract was terminated following warnings for lateness, attendance and after a final incident in which she turned up to set unfit to work because of alcohol consumption.”
