Stars bring magic of panto to life in socially-distanced version of Cinderella

Fairy Godmother Gloria Hunniford, 80, narrates the star-studded story of a celebrity Christmas for the festive issue of Best. Unable to attend any red carpet events, the magazine’s writer Dani Southwood is our down-on-her luck heroine who is aided by chef Theo Michaels as Buttons to ensure she can go to Prince Charming’s garden party.
Former Page 3 Girl Linda Lusardi, 62, is the Wicked Queen out to stop her, accompanied by ugly step sisters – Boyzone star Ben ‘Lady Anastasia’ Ofoedu and Christopher ‘Lady Drusilla’ Biggins.
Linda’s real-life hubby, former Brookside actor Sam Kane, is the prince who throws the garden party while the kindly father of our heroine, Eamonn Holmes, is away on important business.
