BOURNEMOUTH Pavilion has announced that this year's "all-star" pantomime will be perennial favourite Sleeping Beauty.

The cast includes Malandra Burrows from Emmerdale, who was also a huge hit on reality TV show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

She plays the Good Fairy.

The Bad Fairy is played by another TV favourite Helen Fraser who played Body Bag in the popular woman's prison series Bad Girls.

Young children will recognise Chris Prizze - Mr Stephen from the Basil Brush show - who plays Silly Billy.

Andy Ryan, one of the UK's leading dames, returns to the Pavilion as Nurse Nelly.

This new production features not only lavish sets and costumes, but also dazzling special effects including flying sequences and computer generated animation. It runs at the Pavilion from Saturday, December 8 to Sunday, January 6.
