Reality TV star Katie Price will take on the role of a fairy in the upcoming Easter pantomime Pinocchio at Clacton’s Princess Theatre, promising a magical experience for audiences
Katie Price is set to dazzle audiences once again as she steps into the world of pantomime, taking on the role of an enchanting fairy in Pinocchio. The reality TV star will perform at Clacton’s Princess Theatre in Essex this April, marking another return to the stage.
Known for her appearances in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother, Price has ventured into theatre before. Over Christmas, she played a wicked stepsister alongside Kerry Katona in a Cinderella production. Now, she’s set to bring magic to the beloved tale of Pinocchio.
The Easter pantomime will feature a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent. Joining Price is comedian and EastEnders star Bobby Davro, who will take on the role of the mischievous Stromboli. Ryan Greaves will star as Pinocchio, embarking on a fantastical adventure to Fantasy Island with the fairy’s guidance.
