Shiny happy people: Emma Rigby celebrates the closing night of Wolfboy with a huge bouquet of flowers


She's a former soap star who made her name as Hannah Ashworth on Hollyoaks.

But now Emma Rigby is celebrating another string to her bow after completing a successful run in West End show Wolfboy.

The 20-year-old actress wore a pair of ruched shiny black leggings and a gold sequinned jumper as she marked the closing night of the play by hitting the Taman Gang restaurant in Mayfair with friends.

Clutching a bouquet of flowers, Emma looked thrilled to have finished her three-week run in the play, which saw mainly positive reviews from critics, as she left Trafalgar Studios.

Speaking about her role as nurse Cherry in the thriller musical before the start, Emma said: 'It's a very different role. I play a nurse, and there are four people in the play in total. I'm loving it and it's a new challenge and I can't wait to get on to the stage.

'TV's very different. I'm really enjoying theatre. When you've played something for five years it's so refreshing to have a change and to work with different people.'

With her blonde hair teased into a backcombed beehive, Emma seemed happy to be the centre of attention on her night out, and caught the eye of one guest in particular at the Pan Asian restaurant - rapper Aggro Santos.

The Hollyoaks star was bombarded with bottles of champagne which Brazilian rapper Santos sent over to her table throughout the evening.

After her night out at Taman Gang, the restaurant cum night club which is proving incredibly popular with celebrities, Emma headed home with her pals.

Following her depature from Hollyoaks last year, Emma said of moving to London from the North: 'I won't be falling out of Mahiki or doing stupid things in front of the camera, as I'm just not that interested in clubbing or drinking.

'Acting is my outlet in life, I get a real release from it, I don't need anything else.'
