Television heartthrob Jake Quickenden tried his costume during a photoshoot ahead of New Theatre Royal Lincoln’s Christmas pantomime, Beauty & The Beast, this winter.
The Scunthorpe-born star, who won Dancing on Ice in 2018, will play the part of baddie Flash Hugo, who is described as an arrogant, self-loving, egotistical, ladies’ man who will stop at nothing to win the hand of Belle.
The Beauty & The Beast Christmas panto will run at the Lincoln theatre between December 10, 2021 and January 9, 2022.
Tickets are on sale priced at £25.50 for adults and £22.50 for anyone under 18 or over 65 – book tickets online here or by calling the box office on 01522 519999.
