Joss Stone to make TV cameo as ugly royal consort

London (PTI): Grammy winning singer Joss Stone will make her TV debut playing Henry VIII's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, who is believed to be ugly, in the hit series Tudors.

The 21-year-old singer known for her habit to go barefoot, will be seen in a tight headdress and restrictive Tudor dresses in her cameo, reported the Daily Mail in it's online edition.

"It may not be the most glamorous role, Anne was meant to be ugly, but Joss had a lot of fun," said a source in BBC.

Stone had earlier got her break in acting when she appeared in the fantasy film "Eragon" in 2006.

Legend goes that the Tudor king married Anne after seeing a portrait of her, but when he met her, Henry famously called her a "Flanders mare" and they had divorced soon after their marriage.

Stone is keen to have a career in acting along with her musical vocation, which has recently seen a downward trend after her music label indefinitely postponed the release of her second album.

"She thinks it's a stepping stone to other acting roles," the source said.
