Elizabeth Caproni, known for satirical impressions of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, says she would like to play Sturgeon again in a forthcoming Channel 5 drama. Both outlets describe Caproni as a performer whose comedic portrayals of Sturgeon have brought her recognition.
The reports frame her interest in returning to the role as a continuation of her past work, with one article focusing on Sturgeon’s own reaction to being impersonated for laughs, while the other emphasizes Caproni’s reputation for impressions. The pieces do not provide further production details, such as the drama’s plot, casting specifics, or a release date.
Overall, the two accounts align on Caproni’s public identity as an impressionist of Sturgeon and on her expressed desire to reprise that character in a Channel 5 project. The outlets differ mainly in how they describe her background—either highlighting a perceived “funny side” from Sturgeon herself or underscoring the performer's established knack for impressions—rather than the underlying claim about the proposed role.
