Popular TV stars will be taking part in this year's fairy-tale panto production in the Towns.

EastEnders actor Delroy Atkinson will be joining CBBC’s Dumping Ground star William Wyn Davies at Chatham’s Central Theatre when the curtain raises for Aladdin in December.

Delroy will be playing Abanazaar, while William will be starring as the “hilarious” Police Constable.

The pair will feature alongside Everybody’s Talking About Jamie star Alex Anstey as the whacky Widow Twankey, as well as Jonny Weldon who will be playing Wishee Washee.

Aladdin will be Seren Sandham-Davies, and Princess Jasmine will be played by Evita Khrime.

The show promises live music, colourful costumes, amazing sets, stunning special effects and “plenty of panto fun and laughter”.

This years performance is being put on by the same team behind last year’s production of Snow White.

Shows will run from December 8 to December 31 and tickets can be booked here.

You can also call the box office on 01634 338338.

There will be BSL Signed performances on December 9 and a Relaxed/BSL Signed performance on December 28.
