COLEEN Nolan will take to the stage with comic Billy Pearce in this year’s Alhambra pantomime.

Cinderella will be staged at the Bradford theatre from December 16 to January 28, with Celebrity Big Brother winner and Loose Women presenter, Coleen, as the Fairy Godmother.

Coleen’s music career began in 1980 as a teenager when she joined her sisters in the chart-topping Nolans, best known for hits including I’m In The Mood For Dancing, Don’t Make Waves and Gotta Pull Myself Together.

Since then she has risen to further fame as a regular panellist on Loose Women for ITV, as guest presenter on This Morning, competed in the fourth series of Dancing On Ice, released her autobiography entitled No Regrets and two novels, Envy and Denial.

Coleen was a runner-up in the tenth series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2012. She returned to the infamous house earlier this year, winning the competition with 33 per cent of the public vote.

Billy will be making his 19th Alhambra pantomime appearance, again playing Buttons in the classic story.

He is currently touring the UK in the farcical comedy Seriously Dead and in the spring of this year will star as Mr Toad in a brand new musical adaptation of Kenneth Greene’s The Wind in the Willows.
