NO HOLBY BLUES

Holby City star David Ames is heading out of scrubs and into the West End this week, starring in Steve at London’s new Seven Dials Playhouse. ‘I’m thrilled,’ David says of his return to the stage. ‘It’s my first theatre role for 10 years.’ Expect laughter and tears if you catch him in this tale of love and life.

David, who has played Holby’s Dominic for almost a decade, promised a treat for fans when the Casualty spin-off ends in March. ‘It’s a real fan pleaser,’ he teased. ‘It’ll leave you in bits.’
