Anne Hegerty, The Governess from the ITV quiz programme The Chase, will play the Empress in Aladdin, the 2023 pantomime at Chesterfield’s Winding Wheel Theatre.
Hegerty, a favourite with fans of The Chase in both the UK and Australia, has also appeared on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, Loose Women and This Morning.
Panto producer Paul Holman said, “Anne is no stranger to pantomime and I’m thrilled she’s headlining this stunning production at Chesterfield’s Winding Wheel Theatre. Her presence on stage as the empress is certainly going to be imposing and impressive and I know audiences are in for a real treat.”
Aladdin will run from Friday 1 December until Tuesday 2 January.
