Liz Hurley is to host a charity gala performance of West End musical Chicago.

Past stars including Denise Van Outen, Jennifer Ellison and Ruthie Henshall will return for the event marking the show’s 10th anniversary.

The performance will take place at London’s Cambridge Theatre on December 5.

Hurley will co-host with Andrew Lloyd Webber and actor-screenwriter Julian Fellowes.

German actress Ute Lemper, former Blue star Duncan James and X Factor runner-up Brenda Edwards will also feature in the performance.

The London production of Chicago has played to over 4.5 million people at more than 4,000 performances.

It opened at the Adelphi Theatre on November 18, 1997, and transferred to the Cambridge Theatre last year.

Kelly Osbourne made a triumphant debut on Monday night as prison matron Mama Morton.

The musical is currently playing on Broadway and productions are planned in South Korea, Japan and Denmark.

A 2002 film version of Chicago won six Oscars including best picture and best supporting actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones.
