Toned and tanned: Ashley Tisdale shooting scenes for the pilot episode of her new TV series Hellcats, a drama focussing on a competitive cheerleading squad


High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale looks raring to go in her new project - revealing her toned and tanned body on the set of cheerleading drama Hellcats.

In the show, the 24-year-old star plays Sierra Sloan, the captain of competitive cheerleading squad.

Described as 'peppy and petite' with 'fierce intensity', Sierra clashes with the star of the show Marty Perkins, played by Aly Michalka.

Filming early this morning in Vancouver, Canada, Tisdale was preparing for one of the more physical scenes of the highschool drama.

She has clearly been getting herself into shape, and her enthusiasm for the role can be seen by the number of exclamation marks in her regular Twitter updates, the last of which - before this morning's shoot - being: 'Hellcats!! Shooting my big cheer number today!!!!'

Despite commenting on early starts and long hours ('Haven't been up this early in a looonnng time'), she also admits that it's 'so much fun'.


It's a wrap: Ashley surrounds herself with a blanket before filming in Vancouver this morning, but then sheds the blanket for her physical cheerleading scenes


The new show, being filmed for the CW Television Network, revolves around Marty - a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who loses her education scholarship and joins the Hellcats in a bid to stay at school.

Ashley's Sierra clashes with the 'wicked smart' Marty but then realises that the squad needs her to win.

The show is due to be aired next year.
