Imelda May has revealed that she will make her acting debut - that Credit Union ad doesn't count, ok? - in the sequel to 2019 film Fisherman’s Friends.
The first film told the true story of a group of Cornish fishermen who formed a sea shanty group, The Fisherman's Friends, and signed to a record label and achieved unexpected global fame.
So the big secret is....

I'm making my acting debut in @FishermansFilm as Aubrey Flynn.
I’ll join the original cast to tell a beautiful story on the shores of enchanting Cornwall.
It’s a bit of a dream of mine to be honest. I’ve certainly been called a drama queen so..:) pic.twitter.com/ndezED6SaX
