Ian Oswald, Chris O'Mara and James Colebrook arrived last week at the resort, and have already begun rehearsing with the rest of the cast and crew.

Returning for a second year of panto, Ian Oswald will embody Abriel, the Spirit of Virtue, who will be a voice of wisdom and magic, helping guide Cinderella on her journey to true love.

Last year, he performed alongside stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, filming scenes for Wicked, and also performed in Burlesque: The Musical at Manchester's Opera House.
