Meg Hateley, 23, has debuted in the West End as Sophie in the musical inspired by the hit songs of Abba at the Novello Theatre. Sophie's mother Donna was played by Meg's own mother, Linzi, all those years ago.

The actress said taking on the part in the show felt like being in a "second home". She told the Standard: "It's strange but of anything I've ever done performing wise this is the most calm I've ever felt and there is definitely something about the show and the theatre that I feel at home in.
