Cheryl Fergison appears to be manifesting a new job in TV after admitting she had been left penniless.

The 60-year-old EastEnders star posted on Instagram Tuesday, tagging several ITV shows to try landing more work.

The actress wrote how she ‘dreamed of being top of my game’ and said she was waiting for a new ‘university challenge’.

She wrote: ‘My little story of the day… just putting all good vibes out there folks.

‘This Morning’ as I walk on these ‘Corrie’ cobbled streets’ and wander over hill & ‘Emmerdale‘ I think of my ‘Big Brother’ who once told me he was a ‘Masterchef’ in his field of work. I remembered his words, what a ‘Mastermind’ he is.

‘I then thought about the past growing up in the concrete ‘Jungle’ and dreamed of being top of my game.

‘Life wasn’t ‘Pointless’ and I refused to be ‘The Weakest Link’ or a ‘Casualty’ in fact if I can cut to ‘The Chase’ this was ‘One Show’ I would make my success in .

‘All I needed was the confidence and ‘The Voice’ to let the people see that , ‘Strictly’ speaking there is no’Enders’ to my talents. So now I enjoy ‘An audience with..’ people and my social media and wait for a new ‘University Challenge’

‘I picture a ‘A Place in the Sun’… maybe ‘Benidorm’? As long as I have positivity, health, love and support then all the haters & doubters well they can just ‘Bake Off’.

The actress played Heather Trott across 386 episodes of EastEnders, but she was killed off in 2017 and has struggled to find meaningful acting work since shooting her final scenes for the BBC soap.

Cheryl suffered a further blow after discovering she had been left penniless by her accountant, as detailed by the actress in her autobiography, Behind The Scenes.

‘For five years, I paid him. For five years he pocketed the money and didn’t pay a single penny to HMRC,’ she wrote.

‘Everything I had built, saved and worked for was gone. I don’t use the word hate very often. It’s a heavy word, one you can’t always take back, but in this case, I meant it. I hated him.’

She added: ‘Going broke when you’re famous is the worst, because everyone expects you to have lots of money.

‘People assume that you’re minted. They don’t imagine you’re juggling overdrafts, maxed-out credit cards, payday loans and mountains of bills. But that was exactly where I found myself.’

The actress lives in Blackpool with her husband Al-Jermoni, whose visa first blocked his 2011 UK move.

Al-Jermoni remained in his native Morocco for nine years, during which a devastating earthquake, its subsequent relief effort and the coronavirus pandemic created additional obstacles .

She told OK! magazine: ‘We try to keep our business private but yes financially it can be a strain to get these visas.

‘But we’re here now, we’re in Blackpool – the Vegas of the north! – and we’re settled.’

Earlier this year, the actress admitted she struggles financially but is rebuilding after selling tickets at a takeaway opening.

Speaking to The Sun, she said people shouldn’t judge her and her finances will take time to recover fully.

‘Until I have steady work, I’m not rich or comfortable – I’m just surviving. I’ve been saying yes to everything for no money, but I need to start valuing my work and asking for fair pay. Even my agent insists on it.

‘Still, I’ll never give in. I want to keep singing. If people criticise me for singing in small restaurants, so be it.’

She added: ‘At the end of the day, I’m an entertainer. Community has always been important to me, and I’ll perform no matter the crowd.

‘If only two people show up, I don’t care – I’m still being paid, and I’ll still give it my all.’
