Ali Bastian has turned to an alternative therapist to help her cure the stage fright she has developed ahead of her West End debut.

The 28-year-old former Hollyoaks star is said to be undergoing hypnotherapy to conquer her nerves before Burn the Floor opens at the Shaftesbury Theatre on July 26th 2010, the Daily Record reports.

Bastian will play one of the lead roles in the dance spectacular alongside her boyfriend Brian Fortuna.

"She's got a bit of stage fright ahead of the show and she feels she just needs a little bit of help to make sure her mind is in the right place," an insider told the newspaper.

In May, Bastian told Bang Showbiz she had been enjoying her rehearsals for Burn the Floor as she was able to spend more time with Fortuna, whom she met on Strictly Come Dancing.

Burn the Floor will come to London having already broken box office records in New York.
