Liverpool actor and comedian Ricky Tomlinson will feature in the role of The Magic Mirror in the Epstein Theatre Easter pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Producer Lee Kelly has already confirmed Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother star James Hill in the title role. The show also stars local actress Georgia Austin as Snow White and TV and Radio presenter Debi Jones as the Wicked Queen.
Liverpool favourite Michael Chapman will return as the panto dame.
Ricky is probably best known for his roles as Bobby Grant in Brookside and lazy but loveable Jim Royle in the The Royle Family.
His acting credits span over 30 years and include many more comedy and dramatic roles such as the lead character in Mike Bassett: England Manager, DCI Charlie Wise in Cracker and the portrayal of John Glover, father of Hillsborough victim Ian, in the Jimmy McGovern drama Hillsborough.
