Cast members from the city's upcoming panto have appeared on a popular ITV show to discuss the festive production. 

Joe Tracini and Beverley Callard chatted to Lorraine Kelly on Tuesday about Sleeping Beauty, The Fairy's Tale which will run at Norwich Theatre Royal between December 9 and January 7. 

Tracini revealed he was tasked with writing the show - but explained he wanted to give the ending a more modern twist.

He said: "The end is dodgy - she essentially spends 18 years waiting for a man to fix everything by kissing her without her consent. 

"In my one, I play the fairy who brings this up in the first 90 seconds and says 'it's not what it looks like'."

Tracini's Good Fairy is joined by Richard Gauntlett as the Queen as they embark on a quest to save Sleeping Beauty who is played by SIX actress Millie O'Connell.

Karl Queensborough, star of Hamilton, plays a prince who tags along for the ride.

Callard, who is best known for pulling pints as Liz McDonald in Coronation Street, will portray the Evil Fairy who tries to stop them.
