West End star and Magic at the Musicals presenter Ruthie Henshall is set to star in her very first panto this festive period.

Sharing the news on social media, Ruthie said: 'I am a virgin! Delighted to be doing panto for the first time! Cannot believe it’s taken me this long. Up till now the only children I’ve scared are my own! Watch out Wimbledon there’s a wicked woman in town !!' (sic)
Also in the cast are Lee Mead and Brenda Edwards (who both recently appeared in the touring production of Chicago), Hannah Lowther (Heathers the Musical), Matthew Kelly, Dick & Dom and John Archer.
The ensemble includes Jonny Weston, Chris Otim, Lucas Angelo Ward, William Keeler, Jacob Smith, Jack Malin, Ellie May Wilson, Tonye Scott-Obene, Ethan Atkinson, Michael Parker, Theo Rose, Lauren Hyland and Sasha Woodward.
