Joe Woolford, one half of the duo who represented the United Kingdom in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, will be performing in a traditional British pantomime this Christmas.

It was announced earlier this week that Joe Woolford will play the role of Prince Charming in the Cinderella pantomime in Chester.

This appearance follows on from his appearance last year as Jack in Jack and the Bean Stalk.

The show will be produced by Tip Top Productions, based at the Forum Studio Theatre in Chester and will run at the theatre from Friday 8 December 2017 until Friday 5 January 2018.

Full details of Cinderella including performance dates and times can be found at www.chestertheatre.co.uk where tickets can be booked online.

Joe & Jake represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with their song You’re not alone. They finished in 24th place with 62 points.
