British pop star Kimberley Walsh is heading back to London's West End to star in a musical adaptation of Elf.

The former Girls Aloud singer first trod the boards in 2012 when she starred as Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical and she will now return to the stage in the U.K. capital in October (15).

Elf is based on Will Ferrell's 2003 film of the same name and the musical has already enjoyed success in America, Ireland and in Plymouth, England.

Other stars confirmed for the production's London debut are British actors Ben Forster, Joe MCGann and Jessica Martin.
