Ray Quinn unveiled as star of Derngate pantomime
Dancing on Ice and X Factor star Ray Quinn has been unveiled as the star name in this year's Derngate panto.
The TV heart throb will lead the cast in the role of Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk and will appear alongside his real-life girlfriend Emma Stephens.
Jonathan Kiley, Executive Producer said: "We are thrilled that Ray will be appearing here in Northampton for the first time.
"Over 8,000 tickets have already been sold for Jack and the Beanstalk eight months ahead of its opening night."
Quinn has become one of the UK's much loved performers appearing in the X Factor finals and winning Dancing on Ice. Ray wowed audiences when he appeared in the arena tour of the ice show.
Following his appearance in the final of the X Factor in 2007, Ray released his first album Doing It My Way. In 2008 he starred in the West End production of Grease at the Piccadilly Theatre playing Danny.
Ray will be taking to the ice again with Torvil and Dean's Dancing on Ice Tour 2010 in April when he will be back to defend his title as Dancing On Ice Tour Champion with new partner Alexandra Schauman.
Emma Stephens trained at Laine Theatre Arts and shot to fame when she starred with Ray in the West End musical Grease as Sandy. Her previous credits include Starlight Express and Saturday Night Fever.
Jack and the Beanstalk runs at Royal & Derngate from Friday, December 10 to Sunday, January 9. Tickets can be booked on Northampton 624811 or www.royalandderngate.co.uk.
