What a transformation! Heidi Range is unrecognisable as she takes to stage for The War of the Worlds opening night

When she was a member of the Sugababes she mastered the art of making heads turn.
Channelling that gift on Friday evening, Heidi Range made audience members at the Dominion Theatre in London do a double-take.
Starring in The War of the Worlds, Range, 32, was almost unrecognisable in the spotlight as she took on the role of Beth.

Dressed in period costume, Heidi looked completely different thanks to her hair and make-up. 
Having thoroughly enjoyed taking to the spotlight, Heidi took to her Twitter account to thank those who came to watch the show.
She tweeted: 'Such a great audience tonight @twotwofficial really enjoyed the show. Excited to get home now to my hub and pug ❤️ #goodday x'. 
In previous years, the role of Beth has been portrayed by Carrie Hope Fletcher, Liz McClarnon and Jennifer Ellison.
