Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer is making the leap from being on the small screen every Saturday night to the big screen.

The professional dancer has landed her first film role in a project called Tomorrow Morning.

The film is an adaptation of an Off-Broadway musical that focuses on two couples, one getting married and the other getting divorced. But there's a bit of a twist, in that it's actually the same couple at different points in time.

Director Nick Winston uploaded a photo of the cast, posing against a bar and bathed in purple lighting to his Instagram, writing: "Thank you to @karenhauer for bringing the [fire] to the @tommorningmovie set."

The director tagged other cast members, letting us know that the film is also starring Les Miserables' Samantha Barks, The X Factor's Fleur East, EastEnders icon Anita Dobson, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again's Omid Djalili, Dynasty legend Dame Joan Collins, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD's Henry Goodman and Holby City's Ramin Karimloo, among others.

Karen also shared the photo to her own Instagram page, writing: "My @tommorningmovie dance gang. Huge thanks to @nickw1nston for having me choreograph and star in After Tonight."

Karen's fellow Strictly stars, including Janette Manrara, Nancy Xu and Johannes Radebe, congratulated her on the role in the comments.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One. It's due to return later in 2021.
