It seems that Qdos Pantomime are listing Lee among their line-up of "famous faces" in panto this year - he also appears in the trailer on their site:

However, Lee isn't actually listed in any the casts announced so far - if Qdos haven't made a mistake, surely an announcement will be made soon? Could this be anything to do with the "nice news" Lee tweeted about recently!

It would be lovely, as, for those of us who book for January, it's something good to look forward to after Christmas.

It's Aladdin!

Lee is heading to Birmingham this year to play the title role in Aladdin with a starry cast that includes Julian Clary and Marti Pellow. Looks good - and a long run right to the end of January so plenty of dates to choose from

I'm sure people know this already but seats are booking very fast so if you can afford to book now rather than later, go for it.
