Whoopi Goldberg says she won’t do  Sister Act 3 without Maggie Smith during Judi Love Loose Women interview

Speaking on Loose Women this week, Whoopi Goldberg offered desperate fans a much needed update on the highly anticipated Sister Act 3. The actor and comedian appeared in a special interview with panellist Judi Love on Friday (January 6),  revealing a sequel hinges on  co-star Maggie Smith.

The 67-year-old was there talking about her new film Till which is based on the true story of the racist killing of 14-year-old Emmett Till in the US in 1955.

However, it’s rare for Goldberg to do an interview without being asked about the long-rumoured, third film in the Sister Act series and whether there have been any new developments in its production.

The multi-award winner confirmed she has seen the script, but said the search for a director for the project was ongoing. She said: “I’m liking the script, you know we’re all going to do whatever we have to do. I’m trying to secure a director!”
