Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” is the line Helen Flanagan has always dreamt of reciting.

The Sharples-born celebrity has revealed she is keen to go from soap to Shakespeare and play the lead role of Juliet.

The Thornleigh Salesian College told the Sun: “I am such a romantic.

“I would really, really love to play Juliet, it’s my total dream role.”

She also shared her ambition to become the next Kelly Brook.
