Source: Found hereSTEVE McFadden, best known as Phil Mitchell on EastEnders, is proving that soap opera royalty can still swap Walford for the stage.
While BBC bosses have reportedly placed restrictions on cast members appearing in lucrative pantomime roles, Steve seems to have sidestepped the ban.
He is set to return to the panto world as the villainous Fleshcreep in Jack and the Beanstalk at The Hawth in Crawley.
This isn't Steve's first time in Crawley – he played Fleshcreep there nine years ago and is thrilled to reprise the role.
Reflecting on his last performance, Steve shared: ⁘There has been a lot of water under the bridge in those nine years.
Steve, who is no stranger to panto with his first role dating back to 1993, embraces the chance to shed his soap persona for a lighter, more playful role.
He added: ⁘My day job is a great tragedy with few laughs, so panto is the perfect antidote. It's bold, it's live, and it's a lot of fun.⁘
The soap actor shared: ⁘I've only ever played a goodie once—it was so boring I almost fell asleep.⁘
