Waterloo Road<\/a> fans are convinced that Tillie Amartey has revealed her next major role. The Stacey Neville<\/a> actor has been sharing several “cruise ship” updates on her Instagram page, leading fans to believe she has landed a role in The Good Ship Murder.<\/p>\n

Posting a video on Instagram<\/a> while riding a train, she said: “This is probably going to be the most random vlog ever, but I’m actually on the train to Southampton to get on a cruise because I’m filming a project that requires me to be on a cruise.<\/p>\n

“Being on a cruise at the age of 22, alone, wasn’t on my 2026 vision board, but I’m kind of here for it. I actually think I’m going to like it here.”<\/p>\n

She said she thought filming would be an “absolute scream” and that it would be “really exciting and interesting”.<\/p>\n

Tillie went on to share footage of her leaving the train and travelling to the sprawling cruise ship, remarking that it was “so big and overwhelming” once she was on board.<\/p>\n

“I can’t believe that this is work,” she said while taking a stroll and exploring the facilities, including an arcade and a bar with a robotic bartender.<\/p>\n

The video ended with the cruise disembarking and Tillie talking to the camera as the sunset, explaining how “relaxed” she felt after a “full on” first day.<\/p>\n

In the caption, she wrote: “Cruise ship \ud83d\udea2 chronicles day 1.<\/p>\n

“When I started acting at 7 years old as a hobby I never thought it would make my adult life so unpredictably amazing.<\/p>\n

“Feeling lucky, blessed and claustrophobic Darren \ud83d\ude25\ud83d\ude2c all at once, but how fab I can say my job has required me to set sail \ud83c\udf0a.”<\/p>\n

She has followed with a series of videos updating fans on her time aboard the ship, including a final video explaining that after a week of filming, she was now home.<\/p>\n

Fans have speculated that Tillie is set to star in The Good Ship Murder, which follows a former police detective turned cabaret singer solving murders on a Mediterranean cruise ship.<\/p>\n

“Ahhh dream job, especially if it\u2019s what I think it is! Have the best time!” one user wrote, while several simply commented the show’s name.<\/p>\n

The Sun previously reported that Hollyoaks’ Scott Drinkwell and Coronation Street star Lucy-Jo Hudson had been signed up for the show.<\/p>\n

The publication said that The Good Ship Murder actor Ross Adams shared a series of snaps while filming in Malta which included both Scott and Lucy-Jo.<\/p>\n
