Former EastEnders star Jasmine Armfield reveals exciting career move 3 years after quitting the soap

FORMER EastEnders actress Jasmine Armfield kept viewers glued to their screens when she played Bex Fowler in EastEnders.

But three years after quitting the BBC soap it looks as though Jasmine, 24, has decided to swap the small screen for theatre - and has landed a huge role.

Jasmine, who played Bex Fowler between 2014 to 2020, is part of the cast for Jumping The Shark, which is set to tour the UK, starting in Bury St Edmonds.

Jasmine took to social media to inform her fans of her new role.

She said: "Jumping The Shark- a new play by David Cantor and Michael Kingsbury. Previews start 28th January. Opening night 31st January at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds."

But its not just her career that got fans excited - last year she posted a picture of herself with a brand new hair colour.

Jasmine changed her brunette locks to red.

Jasmine is known for being the fourth actress to take on the role of Bex Fowler in EastEnders.

And her character went through a turbulent few years during her teenage life and was involved in one of the biggest story lines in 2019, when she tried to kill herself.

And its not just her acting ability that earned her a score of fans, Jasmine can sing too.

Jasmine released her own debut single as her character as Bex's music story line. She sang Dido's White Flag on the soap in the Queen Vic.
