TOWIE star James ‘Arg’ Argent will be bringing the festive fun to this year’s Christmas panto in Gravesend.

Wicked Productions are returning to The Woodville for their fourth year with a show-stopping performance of Aladdin during the holiday season.

Kicking off on Friday, December 2 and running until Sunday, January 1, Aladdin will star the TV personality, who was a regular on the Essex-based reality show from 2010 to 2018, as the Chief of Police.

Since his rise to fame as an original TOWIE cast member, Arg has gone on to appear in shows such as The Jump, Celebrity Super Spa and the Real Dirty Dancing alongside Lee Ryan and Chelsee Healey.

Arg will be joined on stage by Gravesend favourite Rob Cummings, who has appeared in previous Woodville productions such as Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel. He will be returning as classic panto character Dame Widow Twankey.

The cast also includes comedy impressionist The Man They Call G as Abanazar and dancer Georgia Rowland-Elliott as Princess Jasmine.

The show is set to feature all the usual panto antics such as audience participation, laugh-out-loud jokes, sing-along songs, colourful costumes and family-friendly fun.

This special production even promises an ‘astonishing flying carpet’ to dazzle and delight theatre goers of all ages.

Tickets to Aladdin at The Woodville, Gravesend, start from £17.50 and are on sale now.
