Presenter and musical theatre star, David, will be bringing more festive fun to this year’s spectacular Bournemouth Pavilion pantomime Jack & the Beanstalk as he joins recently announced Corrie bad boy Calum Lill, playing the evil Fleshcreep.
Returning to Bournemouth, David played Peter Pan alongside Shaun Williamson’s Captain Hook in the 2021 Pavilion pantomime. Well known for his role as a presenter for Channel 5’s Milkshake! David has also toured with Hairspray, Dreamboats and Petticoats and internationally as Niall Horan in the Only One Direction tribute act.
David said; “I’m really looking forward to coming back to Bournemouth later this year. The audience was amazing when I was Peter Pan. I’m hoping they will be as much fun, if not more so, when I take on the role of Jack and we go on another adventure together!”
With a huge passion for panto, David joins Bournemouth Pavilion’s favourite funny man, Noel Brodie, who is playing Jack’s cheeky comedy sidekick, Simple Simon.
