ALBERT Square is coming to the south coast.

Stars of BBC soap EastEnders will perform in the forthcoming Pavilion Theatre pantomime Snow White with actress Gillian Wright confirmed to play the Wicked Queen alongside Matt Lapinskas as the dashing Prince.

A former winner of the Inside Soap Best Actress award, Gillian Wright is best known for playing Jean Slater in EastEnders – a role she has played on and off since 2004.

Gillian is no stranger to pantomime having played the role of The Fairy Godmother in both Dick Whittington at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre in 2011 and in Cinderella at Stevenage’s Gordon Craig Theatre in 2013.

Gillian will be joined by fellow EastEnders veteran Matt Lapinskas, who graced Albert Square in the role of Anthony Moon between 2011 and 2012.

Matt will be bringing his natural charm and charisma to the role of The Prince.

Actress Olivia Birchenough has also been confirmed to star as the eponymous Snow White.

Olivia is known for presenting Channel 5’s children’s show Milkshake! and the channel’s Bop Box series, and has previously played Snow White in pantomime at Malvern Festival Theatre in 2013.

Snow White runs from Saturday, December 5 – Sunday, January 3.
