It was recently announced that Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh had been confirmed to replace Amanda Holden in Shrek The Musical and now the first photo of her in the role has been released. 

29-year-old Walsh will step in as Princess Fiona from October 5 when Holden leaves to have her baby, and in the promotional shot unveiled by the show's producers it looks as though she will be the perfect woman for the job. 

She is pictured posing strongly in a long emerald green corseted gown with a long red wig and tiara. Watch the current cast of Shrek The Musical perform 'I'm A Believer' below:
