Fans were thrilled, with one person replying: “That’s fantastic news. Good luck, you’ll be amazing.”
Another said: “Fantastic news! Hope to see you and the rest of the cast on stage soon,” while a third added: “Brilliant news Louise.”
When the star had a nasty fall during rehearsals in January, she broke the news to fans in an emotional post on Instagram.
She wrote at the time: “It breaks my heart to say I am having to take some time out and won’t be able to continue with my role in 9-5.
“Due to a nasty fall I have only gone and fractured my wrist and got 10 (yes 10) stitches in my chin.”
She added that doctors said she would be okay, but the “show must go on” without her.
Co-star Amber was among her celeb pals wishing her a speedy recovery, joking on Twitter shortly after the incident: “Well. I leave you for 2 mins!!”
It wasn’t long after the fall that Louise, determined to keep in shape for her eventual return to the stage, got back into her fitness regimen.
