Jonny will be appearing in pantomime this Christmas..
JONNY has been signed up to appear in pantomime at Newcastle's Theatre Royal.
Performing alongside king of camp John 'I'm Free' Inman, the Durham lad will play the genie in the
Christmas favourite, Aladdin. Luckily, though new to the panto stage, appearing from behind puffs of smoke is nothing new for the Durham fireman who has spent ten years in the fire service.
Speaking to the Daily Star Jonny was clearly delighted at having landed the role saying, "When you go into the Big Brother House it does open doors for you. I've never done anything like this before, I'm quite confident I'll be good at it."
On Day 56 in the House hair-obsessed Tim had a premonition that the housemates had embarked on just such a panto.
Talking to the others about eviction night, the Gloucester lad said, "It's just a pantomime - a long panto.
If they're going to boo me, they're going to boo me. I'm just the ugly sister. I can live with that."
Jonny is still debating whether to return to his career as a fireman and has until December to decide, but will the roar of the
crowds and the smell of the greasepaint tempt him to swap his fireman's pole for a more theatrical role?
