Blackpool’s newest cast member of the iconic Funny Girls mesmerised the town’s hoteliers and business folk as she took to the stage for the first time during the 2026 season launch.

New to the bill for 2026, Ruby Sinclair, who appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2013, proved she was a top class act.

The Latin dance professional effortlessly took to the stage of the Dickson Road venue after meeting VIPs at in the restaurant before the show.

Joining the cast of the “Blooming Queens” Spring Show, alongside seasoned Funny Girls favourites Flexi Belle and Phoenix Knights, the trio brought the house down.

Fellow house favourite, compere Carmen, also dazzled with her stunning looks and sharp wit.

The talent on show made be proud to be from Blackpool.

Prior to the start of the 2026 season, Funny Girls opened its doors to the resort’s hoteliers and business community to give them the VIP treatment.

The night was designed to showcase what the venue could offer visitors to the resort - and what a party it was.

Drinks flowed and the dancing followed.

My personal favourite act of the show was the disco finale. Each queen blossomed as they owned the stage to perform solos and then together.

A shout out also has to be given to the ‘boys’ - the dancers who also added their own humour and charm.
