CELEBRITY stars visited Rhyl today (October 13) ahead of the start of rehearsal for this year’s Christmas pantomime at the Pavilion Theatre.

Pop star Chico, famous for his UK number one hit ‘Chico Time’, was joined by 'Allo 'Allo! actor Arthur Bostrom, Britain’s Got Talent finalist duo Jamie Leahey and Chuck, Casualty star Amanda Henderson, The Bill actor Graham Cole, and Hollyoaks actress Amy-Jane Ollies.

This year’s panto is Jack and the Beanstalk, which follows country boy Jack, who trades the family cow for a handful of magic beans, which grow into an enormous beanstalk reaching up into the clouds.

Jack climbs the beanstalk and finds himself in the castle of an unfriendly giant.

Jamie Groves, managing director of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Anton Benson Productions for our Christmas pantomime again this year.

Jack and the Beanstalk opens on December 9, and will run through until New Year’s Eve, December 31.

This enchanting production promises laughter, adventure, and heart-warming moments for the whole family to enjoy during the holiday season.
