“I love the Winter Gardens and it’s really near to home for me so it will be lovely to spend Christmas with my loved ones but still be able to join in all of the festive fun on stage.

“Peter Pan is shaping up to be an awfully big adventure and I can’t wait to see you all there.”

She’s currently on tour in Footloose: The Musical and has regularly played Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers in the West End and on

Also in the cast is Radio Wave breakfast show co-host Scott Gallagher as Hook’s hapless sidekick Smee.

Peter Pan will feature all the favourite characters from the JM Barrie story of the boy who never grew up; Wendy and her brothers John and Michael, a feisty fairy, the lost boys and a merry band of pirates.
