00:00 Snow White and the Prince, you've finally got your happy ending. Oh yes. It's the gala performance tonight. How was it for you? I had an amazing time. We've been really lucky to get to do two shows today. We had a bunch of kids in from the local schools this morning and they had a lovely time. And then getting to celebrate with lots of people from Skyfest was absolutely amazing. Yeah, it's been great. It's been a really good opening.
00:28 You looked like you were having lots of fun up there. We did, we had lots of fun. And Snow White, you're Jally Sutton girl. I am, yes. She can't be here to watch it but she sends her love and she sends flowers, bless her.
00:42 Yeah, and I know she's immensely proud of her girls and how well they do. Yes, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her, bless her. So, obviously you're in Skegness this season. Is this the first panto that you've done?
01:00 It is for me actually. This is my very first panto mime and it's been an amazing place to do it. It's been lovely people, lovely team on stage and off and I couldn't be more fortunate.
01:12 And you're looking forward to the rest of the run? Oh yeah, we're going to have lots of fun.
01:18 You caught up with the evil queen having a very refreshing, yes, Glastonbury Seco. How did you enjoy that role?
01:28 I absolutely devoured it with both hands and feet. I loved it. I often get cast as the villain. It seems to follow me wherever I go. Maybe one day I'll play the goody but I seem to be always the chosen for the baddy and I do enjoy it. It's really good fun.
01:44 I think all the audience really enjoyed it, especially the children. We all enjoy booing and hitting, don't we, at panto?
01:51 You did, yeah. It was quite a small audience but you were still really going for it. I think the kids really loved it today. It was really good fun.
01:58 You have told me you're doing something quite exciting next year on tour.
02:02 I am, yes. I do lots of different things. I dabble in TV, film work, theatre. But next year I'm embarking on a new tour called The Diana Ross Story, which is by Colin Jones. It's going to be a lot of fun. A lot of solo motel, the old motel greats. I believe it's coming also to the theatre.
02:19 So we'll look forward to seeing you again then.
02:21 I hope to see you there. Thank you.
