Taron Egerton has withdrawn from in his West End show with Bridgerton season 2 star Jonathan Bailey due to 'personal reasons'.

At the beginning of March when Cock opened on the West End, it was reported that Taron passed out on stage, with one of his co-stars stopping the performance and a doctor from the audience coming to his aid. The statement added that Joel was an understudy for the role, ‘and has been playing the part of M for the past ten days while Taron was absent from the production having tested positive for Covid’. In a statement released by the Twitter account for the play, a revival of Mike Bartlett’s 2009 production Cock at London’s Ambassador Theatre, it said that understudy Joel Harper-Jackson will take over the role of M previously played by Taron.

Following a COVID-19 diagnosis, actor Taron Egerton is stepping down from his role in the play Cock on London's West End.

Or will the battle of the sexes be redefined?" Egerton, too, has had his share of troubles since the show began back in March. The actor fainted before the end of the first preview, and then tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of the month. With just a 12-week run, it isn't too surprising Egerton is leaving given his COVID diagnosis, but it is upsetting for him and those who were hoping to see him during his West End run.
