Lindsay is quoted by the Daily Mirror: "I was in the Corinthia hotel and he was there. I'm a huge fan and he gave me some good advice.

"He told me doing the play is one of the best things I could do as an actor, especially for future roles. He said he was proud of me for doing it."

Meanwhile, Lindsay - who forgot some of her lines during the show's first performance - has hit back at her critics, insisting that it wasn't a "disaster".

She admitted she was nervous on the first night because she had never done it before. But everyone has been really great.

Every night feels more natural and comfortable. I'm not used to a live audience, it's a much quicker buzz."

The star also admitted she had refrained from reading any bad reviews about the show's debut night.

Saying that everyone is always going to be judgemental, no matter what.

Admitting she respect people have an opinion, but was doing the best she could and will for the duration. Lindsay was doing this because working makes me feel happy and this is a new venture for her.
