It was hotdogs with the stars at the opening of Lincoln Christmas Market – as Kerry Katona and Jake Quickenden tucked into some food on the first day of the city’s largest annual event.

The 40th Lincoln Christmas Market got underway on Thursday, December 1 with a live opening ceremony hosted by BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s breakfast host Sean Dunderdale, along with Kerry Katona, Jake Quickenden and Ian Waite – stars of the New Theatre Royal’s festive pantomime production of Cinderella.

During The Lincolnite‘s Facebook livestream walkthrough of the Christmas Market, we noticed Jake Quickenden and Kerry Katona tucking into a hotdog at one of the stalls on Castle Square.

Scunthorpe-born Jake gave us the thumbs up of approval as he enjoyed a meal-on-the-go after being part of the official opening of the event.

Lincoln Christmas Market will run from Thursday, December 1 until Sunday, December 4 and to find out more about the event – read our super guide here.
