A FORMER EastEnders star will be treading the boards in Hampshire.

Todd Carty – who played Mark Fowler in the hit BBC show – has also starred in Grange Hill, Dancing on Ice and The Bill.

He is among the cast set to take to the stage at Ferneham Hall in Fareham for this year’s pantomime.

Dick Whittington and His Cat will also feature Disney’s Art Attack presenter Lloyd Warbey, who starred in last year’s Snow White.

The production will start on December 11. Jordan Productions Ltd has won the tender to produce the venue’s pantomimes for the next three years.
