“I can’t wait for everyone to hear this new album”

Redknapp starred as Sally Bowles in the 2017 UK tour of Cabaret.

More recently she confirmed she will return to the musical 9 To 5 in mid-March, after taking time out due to injuring her wrist in a fall.

The 44-year-old found fame as part of the R&B pop group Eternal, whose 1993 debut Always And Forever became a UK number two album.

She and her retired footballer husband Jamie divorced in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
