Summer, who cropped up in teen soap Hollyoaks before her debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End show, reckons the Yanks will be won over by her funny side.

“I love doing comedy,” says the 23-year-old. “I’d love to do something as well-written as Friends with people like Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.”

However, a life in showbiz was not always on the cards for Summer, who is the niece of twinkle-toed Bonnie Langford.

“I was quite rebellious when I was younger,” she confesses in The Stage.

“I wanted to be a vet, then I wanted to be an athlete. Then my sister went to drama school and I saw what a great time she was having.”
