Saunders, who is making her panto debut as Captain Hook, said: “I could not be more delighted to be doing my first panto ever at the Palladium.

“I am a huge fan of panto and The Palladium always delivers. I wouldn’t want to be in Peter Pan’s tiny soft shoes let me tell you, because I am going to give Hook my all.”

Peter Pan opens on December 9 for a five-week run.
