SOAP bad boy Phil Mitchell, aka EastEnders actor Steve McFadden, will be the star of this year's Fairfield Halls panto, it has been announced.
McFadden will play Captain Hook in Peter Pan at the Croydon theatre, which this Christmas runs from December 6 to January 5, 2014.
The 54-year-old actor has become one of the most recognisable faces on TV, since joining the hit BBC soap in 1990 as one half of soapland's baddest duo - the Mitchell brothers.
This is the third year in a row an Eastender has starred in Fairfield's panto, following on from Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell) in 2010 and Laila Morse (Little Mo) last year.
Tickets are already on sale for the 2013 panto, priced £17 for performances between December 6-13.
From then on, tickets will be priced at £28, £24.50 and £20 for adults, and £24, £21, and £20 for children and senior citizens.
A family ticket (2 Adults & 2 Children) will cost £87.
Tickets are on sale from the Fairfield Halls Box Office 020 8688 9291 or online at www.fairfield.co.uk
