Two days after landing a role in a major film, Manx singing star Samantha Barks admits the news is still sinking in.
The 21-year-old from Laxey had just finished performing as Nancy in Oliver! at Manchester's Palace Theatre on Tuesday night, when impresario Cameron Mackintosh joined her on stage to make the announcement.
