SOAP STAR HAS BEEN CAST IN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST PANTO
CORONATION Street’s Sue Cleaver, known to millions of fans as the soap as Eileen Grimshaw, is swapping the cobbles of Weatherfield for Hull this Christmas as she joins the cast of the region's largest panto.
Sue will take the role of Mrs Potts in Beauty and the Beast at Hull New Theatre, in her first pantomime. She will be joined by Chuckle Brother and comedy legend Paul Chuckle as Mr Chuckle, Jack Land Noble as Dame Betty Bouffant and award-winning Hull comedian Jack Gleadow as Silly Billy.
Sue, perhaps best-known as Eileen Grimshaw, having spent 25 years in the soap, has also toured the country as Mother Superior in Sister Act: The Musical and is a regular guest panellist on Loose Women. She also spent 16 days in the Jungle in the 2022 series of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
