Sheridan Smith(03 of15)
Open Image ModalThanks to 'Cilla', we all know Sheridan can sing, but did you know her CV already includes an array of performances in musical theatre? As well as past roles in 'Little Shop Of Horrors' and 'Legally Blonde', Sheridan is currently gearing up for a new production of 'Funny Girl' in London's West End - so is it only a matter of time before we see her singing on the silver screen?

Gemma Arterton(04 of15)
Open Image ModalLike Sheridan, Gemma has experience singing on the West End stage, appearing in 'Made In Dagenham' last year.The British actress already has experience on the big screen, appearing in 'Quantum Of Solace' and 'St Trinian's', and we'd love to see her sliding up a stair banister and floating around with her brolly.

Selena Gomez(05 of15)
Open Image ModalShe can sing, she has a history with Disney and with the release of her new album 'Revival', Selena is about to find herself more in the spotlight than she's ever been.We could definitely see her stepping into Julie Andrews' shoes. (credit:C Flanigan via Getty Images)
Caroline Flack(06 of15)
Open Image ModalVarious reports have suggested that Caroline is hoping to make the move from TV presenting to performing, following her victory in last year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.If producers are looking for a British star to play Mary Poppins, why look further than the woman of the moment here in the UK?

Stephanie Davis(07 of15)
Open Image ModalGiven that she's become a household name for her role in 'Hollyoaks', and the controversy surrounding her departure from the soap, it's easy to forget that Stephanie first made a name for herself in the BBC series 'Over The Rainbow'.Sadly, she never made it down the Yellow Brick Road, but maybe Mary Poppins is a role more within the young actress's grasp?

Emma Stone(08 of15)
Open Image ModalIt's only fitting that a role as iconic as Mary Poppins should go to one of Hollywood's brightest young stars, a title which Emma Stone definitely deserves.Her impressive filmography features a range of different projects, showing she's capable of playing such a complex character. Plus, we know she's up for a laugh, so think of the inevitable 'Step In Time' medley. (credit:Jon Kopaloff via Getty Images)
Emily Blunt(09 of15)
Open Image ModalAs one of the UK's biggest stars overseas, it makes sense for her to play such a quintessentially British part, pariticularly given we all heard her impressive vocals in 'Into The Woods'. (credit:Rommel Demano via Getty Images)

Jessica Brown Findlay(11 of15)
Open Image ModalChloe Jasmine(12 of15)
Open Image ModalShe's posh. She can sing (-ish). Who wouldn't want to hear Chloe Jasmine crooning her way through a practically perfect rendition of 'I Love To Laugh', and if anyone was born to utter the phrase 'come along, children, spit-spot...', it is this former 'X Factor' star.Someone get her a carpet bag, stat.

Michelle Keegan(14 of15)
Open Image ModalMark Wright and Michelle Keegan have made no secret of the fact they've been in talks overseas. Michelle has already received praise for her acting here in the UK, but a role like Mary Poppins could be what she needs to catapult her to world stardom.Besides, a northern version of 'A Spoonful Of Sugar' would be a total dream.
