Pregnant Charlotte Dawson set for panto return just like her comic dad Les

Pregnant Charlotte Dawson is set for even more drama by starring in panto like her comic dad Les.

The reality TV star, 31, is set to join the cast of Aladdin at The Globe theatre in her hometown of Blackpool, later this year.

It comes after Charlotte kicked out fiancé Matthew Sarsfield, 32, after discovering he sent explicit texts to a rugby pal’s ex.

The influencer since announced she’s pregnant with her third baby with Matthew and hopes to give sons Noah, three, and Jude, one, a little sister.

Charlotte said: “I feel like the stage is where I belong and performing is something I love, so I can’t wait to be back in costume making people laugh.

“Last year when I performed I’d just had a baby which was a bit of a challenge, so this time around I feel ready for anything.

“I’m so excited to be starring in Aladdin at my favourite place, it makes it extra special. Let’s bring on the chuffing panto magic.”

‌Comedian Les, famed for his crossdressing double act Cissie and Ada with Roy Barraclough, took on the role of a pantomime dame towards the end of his career.

He died of a heart attack in 1993 when Charlotte – his youngest of four children and his only child with second wife Tracy – was just eight months old.

It’s the third consecutive year that Charlotte, whose podcast ‘Charlotte’s Naughty Corner’ is currently number one on Apple and Spotify, has performed panto.

But this year, the former Celebs Go Dating star will undergo a wicked transformation to play an evil sorceress hell-bent on stealing the genie’s magical lamp.

Pleasure Beach Resort’s CEO, Amanda Thompson OBE said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Charlotte back to our stage performing in Aladdin at The Globe.

“Charlotte is a firm favourite with our audiences and brings an impeccable mix of glamour and comedy.

“We’ve lots of surprises still to come and we can’t wait to showcase yet another production that we’re truly proud of.

“This is one pantomime not to miss.”

Aladdin opens on November 23 and runs on selected dates until December 24, with a special finale performance on Christmas Eve.
