ENTERTAINER Darren Day will be spending the pantomime season in the North-East.
He will play Buttons in the Sunderland Empire's production of Cinderella, which will also star CBBC presenter Kate Heavenor, as Cinderella, and singer Tim Churchill as Prince Charming.
The trio arrived at Sunderland's Glass Centre yesterday to view a glass slipper made for the pantomime by the Wearside Glass Sculptors group.
Darren was able to get time away from the final performances of Summer Holiday before he goes into rehearsals for his West End return, playing the lead role in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Cinderella executive producer Barrie Stead, who is working with comedian Jim Davidson to produce a series of pantomimes across the country, also revealed that former TV comedian Syd Little has agreed to take the role of Baron Hardup.
Cinderella will run from December 12 until January 11. For details, call 0191-514 2517.
