The New Theatre has announced that much-loved television personality, author, style guru, presenter and chef Gok Wan will sashay his way into Cardiff this festive season to star in the most spectacular pantomime of them all, Cinderella. Gok will be joined by panto dame royalty in the form of returning legend Mike Doyle and the hilariously fabulous Ceri Dupree as The Ugly Sisters.

Gok Wan will play The Fairy Gokmother, offering helpful style tips to The Ugly Sisters and creating the most magical ball gown in panto-land for Cinderella! Cinderella marks Gok’s seventh pantomime appearance for producers Qdos Entertainment, the first of which was the subject of the Channel 4 documentary Gok Does Panto.

Gok’s TV career started with the overwhelming success of his Channel 4 series, How To Look Good Naked, which proved so successful that a further six series were filmed, as well as three series of Gok’s Fashion Fix. Gok’s other recent TV credits include How To Cook Chinese, Gok’s Style Secrets, Gok Live Stripping For Summer, Too Fat Too Young and Gok’s Teen’s The Naked Truth. Gok is a regular guest presenter on ITV1’s This Morning and hosted ITV1’s Gok’s Lunchbox.

Back for his seventh consecutive pantomime appearance at the New Theatre, the city’s much-loved Dame Mike Doyle will star as one of Cinderella’s Ugly Sisters. Having appeared alongside the likes of Julian Clary, Lee Mead, Ian H Watkins, David Hasselhoff, Samantha Womack and Lisa Riley in panto, Mike wows audiences every festive season, with his inimitable quick wit, outrageous costumes and audience interaction.
