Isle of Man singing star Samantha Barks has returned to the UK after a whirlwind visit home.
The Laxey teenager, who opened the new £500,000 beauty hall in Boots on Saturday, now has an intense rehearsal schedule ahead after landing the role of Sally Bowles in a touring production of the West End hit Cabaret.
She’ll play opposite Wayne Sleep when the production opens later this month.
Sam said it was great to be back to catch up with friends:
