Nicola Sturgeon is being represented by a talent agency that boasts Hollywood A-listers as clients.

However, while she might now find herself on a roster of famous clients including Kiera Knightley and Kate Winslet, it hasn’t prevented her name being mis-spelled.

The former First Minister quit her MSP role this year when she chose not to stand at the Holyrood elections in May.

But while her political career might be over, she has spent months touring the country to promote her memoir, Frankly.

And it seems the 55-year-old is keen to pursue new opportunities, having signed up with London-based talent firm United Agents.

The company, which is one of the leading literary and talent agencies in the world, represents award-winning actors, comedians, presenters, creators, authors, writers, illustrators, directors and creatives.

As well as Knightley and Winslet, the company’s star-studded roster includes other film stars such as Olivia Coleman and Eddie Redmayne and comedian James Corden.

It was unfortunate, therefore, that a post on the firm’s social media account managed to mis-spell her name.

The post on Instagram to promote the former SNP leader’s appearance on ITV interview series The Assembly, in April, stated its clients on the show included ‘Nichola Sturgeon’.

The correct spelling of her name was also visible in the post, given it included Ms Sturgeon’s Instagram handle ‘@nicolasturgeon’.

There has already been rife speculation about some of the media opportunities Ms Sturgeon might secure.

Earlier this year, there was criticism by the SNP’s Holyrood opponents after Ms Sturgeon was spotted being followed through the parliament building by a film crew.

This led to speculation that she was co-operating with a media outlet on a future project, while still drawing an MSP’s annual salary of £74,000.

Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said Ms Sturgeon had ‘barely contributed’ to Holyrood in the past three years ‘while touring book festivals and TV studios’, including being paid £25,000 as a pundit on ITV’s 2024 General Election night coverage.

Ms Baillie had said: ‘It has been clear for some time that Nicola Sturgeon’s ambitions lay elsewhere, so it is no surprise that she is already eyeing up a cushy presenting role.’

Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells had said: ‘Nicola Sturgeon has never seen a camera she didn’t like – so it’s hardly surprising she’s trying to line up a lucrative TV gig.

‘The former SNP leader should have spent her last few months at Holyrood representing her constituents, not feathering her nest for when she can no longer milk the taxpayer for a salary.’

In her final parliamentary register of interests, Ms Sturgeon noted that she received £75,000 from publisher Pan Macmillan, an initial contribution of four for her book, ‘Frankly’.

In July last year, her private company Nicola Sturgeon Ltd paid £6213 for ‘clothing, styling and personal items’ used on her promotional work for the book.

In addition, there were dividend payments totalling £30,000 from her own company.
