I am!!! I can’t wait to get started!

2.⁠ ⁠What are you most looking forward to in this year’s panto?

⁠I’m looking forward to the audiences, you never know what great energy they’re going to bring! I’m also excited to meet the rest of the company, and to spending this Christmastime with them!

3.⁠ ⁠What does doing panto mean to you?

⁠It means Christmas and lots of fun! It also means bringing together families and friends and sharing joy with them all!

4.⁠ ⁠What do you enjoy about starring in pantos?

I just love seeing everyone having a great time, laughing along, dancing along, on stage and off! Seeing smiles in the audience never fails to make me smile!

5.⁠ ⁠What is your favourite Christmas tradition?

⁠The fooood!!! I know it’s a basic answer but nothing beats Yorkshire puds, tonnes of gravy, roast potatoes, brussels sprouts… I could go on! I also, of course, LOVE being with my family, they really make Christmas so special!
