GLAM Mistresses star Sarah Parish has gone from doll to troll for the new BBC series Merlin.Sarah, 40, said her role in the show about the mythological magician is "a very funny job".
She said: "I'm a nasty troll who turns herself into a glamorous lady of the court and seduces the head of Camelot.
"She marries him and takes over Camelot." (feilongfan: Ahh~ Arthur will have a step-mother! for one episode)

PIRATES Of The Caribbean star Mackenzie Crook will work his magic on BBC1 prime time show Merlin.
Crook, 36, will play creepy Cedric, who is out to undermine Merlin in Prince Arthur's court.
The Office star will join Cutting It actress Sarah Parish, legend Charles Dance and Hustle's Adrian Lester as guest stars in the new series this autumn.
A BBC source said: "Mackenzie is a great addition to the cast and fans will be unsure whether he is a goody or baddy. Only time will tell. He is one of a whole host of stars signed up for this new run."
feilongfan: So this Cedric will be like Nimueh? I mean, looks like he will appear in more than one episodes.
