Love Island winner set to headline panto in Wales this Christmas

Reality television star Jack Fincham is set to headline The Big Pembrokeshire Pantomime this Christmas. The former Love Island contestant, who won in 2018 with Dani Dyer, has been cast in the title role.

Jack and the Beanstalk will go ahead this year at the Boulevard Theatre in Milford Haven after a year-long postponement due to the pandemic. It will take place between December 15 and 31.

Last year Alan Wilson was set to play Jack while former The Only Way is Essex star James 'Arg' Argent was due to play the role of Silly Simon before the pantomime was cancelled due to rising cases of Covid-19 at the time.

This year Jack Fincham, who has also starred on Celebs Go Dating, will take on the role of Jack Trott. Sharing the news on social media, The Big Pembs Panto wrote: "THE BIG PEMBS PANTO IS BACK! And we have a new leading man....playing Jack in this year's Jack and the Beanstalk is Love Island Winner - Jack Fincham!

"Running from 15th - 31st December at Boulevard Theatre, Milford Haven. Grab tickets now before it's too late!"

Jack will be joined by Pure West Radio Breakfast Presenter Tom Dyer, who will play the sinister Fleshcreep. Also in the line-up is Vision Arts' Drew Baker as the loveable Dame Trott and Ryan Anderson, fresh from playing Merrill Osmond in The Osmonds Musical UK Tour, as Silly Simon.

As well as a professional cast, around 60 children from across Pembrokeshire, will feature. The pantomime will also include special schools' performances, a BSL-signed performance and a relaxed performance. Jack and The Beanstalk promises a traditional, family pantomime, full of fun, laughter, singing and dancing. Tickets are on sale now.
