Cheryl made her big West End debut at London's Lyric Theatre on Friday evening in the production of Ghost Story: 2:22.

The hitmaker, 39, took to the stage to kick off her three-month stint as the leading female role of Jenny, following on the role from stars such as Lily Allen and Laura Whitmore.

It comes as Cheryl hit back at reports that the show got off to a late start due to rehearsals running over time, leaving ticket-holders to queue outside in the cold as they waited.

Taking to the stage, Cheryl donned a burgundy dress with a white floral print, high neck and long sleeve.

Her chestnut tresses were bundled into an up do', with two sections left falling to frame her face. 

But as call time came, fans were allegedly left waiting with The Sun reporting that guests waited over 15 minutes for the late start.

However, a representative for Cheryl told MailOnline on Saturday: 'The show started at 7.44pm and everyone was in their seat at this time.'

'It was slightly delayed as it's the first preview and it was completely sold out, so there was a lot of people to get into the theatre. Rehearsals did not overrun at all.'
