sister Ruby! Also starring are Nick Jnr’s Gemma Naylor (Go! Go! Go!) as
Cinderella, ITV’s Superstars finalist Jon Moses as the Prince and the hilarious Tom Whalley returns as Buttons.

So, tick tock the countdown to pantomime season has officially begun as UK Productions, the producers behind
last year’s swashbuckling pantomime,
Peter Pan gets set to make a spectacular return with the Fairy Godmother
of all pantomimes!

As producer Martin Dodd, of UK Productions explains “I am not only absolutely delighted to be bringing such
a fabulous line up of stars to this year’s pantomime, but also that many of
them are home grown in the North East. They may work nationally and
internationally, but there is only one place that they want to be for Christmas
and that’s at home in the beautiful Sunderland Empire.”
Scarlett Moffatt has become a regular
on our screens since making the public laugh with her quick-witted humour on
Gogglebox, before capturing our hearts on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,
which saw her crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2016. Scarlett
is currently the host for I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp on ITV2 and the new Team
Captain on CelebAbility also on ITV2. She is currently filming a brand new show
for Channel 4 which will air this Autumn.
Her warm and bubbly personality has led Scarlett to land a number
of presenting roles, including her first live role alongside Dermot O’Leary
interviewing award winners backstage at the NTAs, her dream-come-true gig
hosting with Ant and Dec live on Saturday Night Takeaway and as host on dating
show, Streetmate.
Away from the camera, Scarlett released her debut book ‘Scarlett
Says’ in 2016, which was met with great acclaim, topping the Sunday Times
Number 1 Bestsellers list. Her second book, ‘Me Life Story, Sofa So Good’, was
released last year and takes a look at the starlet’s life, from her time as a
student to her ever-developing career in front of the lens.
Miss Rory (the comic
creation of North East born Dan Cunningham) has appeared at Newcastle cabaret
hotspot ‘Boulevard’ as host since 2010, carving a place in the affections of
audiences who visit from far and wide. Becoming a household name in the region
and beyond, synonymous with glamour, wit and the edge only a lady like Rory can
bring! Billed as ‘A Tyneside Institution’ Rory’s razor sharp wit and cutting
asides along with hilarious observational comedy have led to numerous sell-out
solo shows.

The North East casting
theme continues with Tom Whalley,
returning to Sunderland Empire after his hilarious comical debut as PC Pong in Aladdin in 2015 and ITV’s Superstars finalist
Jon Moses returns home for the festive season. Born and bred in Sunderland, Jon
Moses, has performed
for millions of viewers on Andrew Lloyd –Webbers ITV’s Superstar search
for his leading man, working with Mel
C, Amanda Holden, Jason Donovan and Dawn French. His dynamic and
powerful voice has taken him onto various leading roles in several national
theatre tours. Jon’s recent album ‘Journey’ peaked
at a whopping number 5 in the charts!!! Securing him a sell-out
solo theatre tour all over the UK and Europe.
