Fresh from a sell out reunion tour, a singer from one the UK’s biggest pop groups will be doing her thing in Medway this Christmas.

S Club 7’s Tina Barrett is set to star in Dick Whittington at the Britannia Theatre, Chatham Maritime, alongside children’s TV presenter Derek Griffiths, and Hollyoaks actor Paul Danan.

Tina will be playing Fairy Bowbells. It won’t be her first pantomime as she has appeared in Beauty and The Beast in Chesterfield and The Wizard of Oz in Peterborough last year.

As part of the 90's chart topping band, Tina starred in a string of popular TV series and had chart success all over the world. S Club 7’s music won the band two BRIT Awards, four UK number one singles, and worldwide album sales of over ten million.

In 2014, the band reunited for a special appearance on Children In Need, and in 2015 the group released a greatest hits album and embarked on an arena tour which finished with a sell out run at London's O2.

The baddie of the show, King Rat, is being played by Derek Griffiths who is best known for his parts in Play Away and Play School in the 70s and 80s.

Previous bad guy roles include Lumiere in Beauty And The Beast at the Dominion Theatre and the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium.

Paul Danan, who played Sol Patrick in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks, will be also be appearing in Dick Whittington.

The production includes a five piece band, stunning sets and costumers, as well as all the comedy and magic you expect from a Christmas pantomime.

Dick Whittington runs from December 12, 2015, to January 3, 2016. Tickets are priced from £12.50.
