BENIDORM star Crissy Rock is returning to The Brindley for a panto performance in Sleeping Beauty.

She will join Rebecca Lake and Christopher Pym in the showcase at the theatre in Runcorn after being announced to play the part of Fairy Nuff.

Crissy, who has featured in ITV's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, recently appeared at The Brindley in Seriously Dead.

She said: "I am looking forward to working with a great cast in the great venue and so close to home.

"There is always something so special about panto and I am already excited."

Cllr Phil Harris, Halton Council's executive board member for The Brindley, added: "Crissy is well loved in the area and beyond and is sure to be popular for all ages.

"Book early and get the best seats in the house for our annual festive pantomime, full of spectacular scenery, dazzling costumes, hilarious jokes, singalong songs and fun for all the family."

Tickets are £16 for children, £22 for adults and £66 for a family of two adults and two children.
