Dressed in a shimmering emerald gown, Miss Holden, 40, poses as Princess Fiona ahead of Shrek The Musical’s first West End preview on Friday.
But she had better enjoy the fairy-tale makeover while it lasts, as fans of the DreamWorks animated films upon which the show is based will know the beautiful princess, voiced on screen by Cameron Diaz, is eventually transformed into a hideous green ogre.
Miss Holden will take to the stage at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane alongside Nigel Lindsay as grumpy ogre Shrek, Richard Blackwood as his sidekick Donkey and Nigel Harman as the villainous Lord Farquaard.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge said preparing for the musical ‘has put a smile on my face’ after she lost her baby son seven months into her pregnancy earlier this year.
