Dynasty actress and former Celebrity Big Brother star Stephanie Beacham has joined the cast of Sky1 comedy Trollied ahead of series two's launch in August.
Beacham joins the show's regular cast Jane Horrocks, Mark Addy, Jason Watkins and Rita May in the supermarket sitcom. She is cast as "no-nonsense supermarket manager" Lorraine.
Series one of Trollied proved to be a ratings hit for Sky1 last year, launching the broadcaster's investment in homegrown British comedy.
"Lorraine is the most outrageous human being I have ever been given the joyful task of portraying," said Beacham. "Lucky me, bad luck anyone who crosses her."
Dominic Coleman, Lucien Laviscount, Jo Enright, Victor McGuire and David Ryall are also joining the Sky1 show's ensemble.
"Look out for some in-store changes, Trollied is going to be bigger, brighter and better. We adore the new additions to the cast and the writers have had a ball writing for them," said Sky1's head of comedy Lucy Lumsden.
