Victoria Smurfit is set to take to star alongside singer turned actor Will Young in a new film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
Fresh from her minutilla filming for the latest series of RTE medical drama The Clinic, Victoria has just begun filming on the first of four films which will be broadcast on ITV next year.
The film -- The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side -- will see the fair screen alarm take on the role of ditzy secretary Ella Blunt, who has her work cut out for her as she tends to the every whim of her film director boss when he moves from the US to Britain.
Victoria will be joined by a host of big-name stars on the production, including Absolutely Fabulous actress Joanna Lumley and Nigel Harman.
Julia McKenzie will play Agatha Christie's spinster sleuth. She will be the seventh actress to take on the much-loved character on screen.
The film is at present being shot in Los Angeles and Britain.
However, Victoria is hoping to make it back to Dublin this week to step out for RTE's autumn launch on Thursday.
The mum of three is set to be unveiled as a character in the seventh series of The Clinic, along with former Indiana Jones star, Alison Doody.

Victoria (36) will play Dr Edel Swift in the long-running arrangment and announce she was delighted when she landed a permanent role here in Ireland.
The proud mum said she was keen to stay closer to home from now on so that she could spend more time with her children, Evie (5), Ridley (2) and 8-month-old Flynn Alexander.
The Trial And Retribution performer began filming on the series last April, with production wrapping at the beginning of the summer, leaving Victoria a couple of months to spend with her children before she took off for her latest project.
The former Ballykissangel star has been busy since returning to eire last year and received rave reviews when she took to the stage alongside Pauline McLynn in October at the Olympia.
Victoria amazed audiences when she took to the stage in February, sporting a svelte figure, despite giving birth just a few months previously.
