Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders will unite on stage for the first time in 17 years later this year.

The pair are set to play the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella at the London Palladium.

Dawn and Jennifer said: “We have wished to play the Ugly Sisters for so many years, it feels this is the fulfilment of a dream – a dream our hearts made. Watch out. It won’t be pretty.”

They will be joined by Julian Clary as The Fairy Godfather, alongside Palladium Panto favourites Paul Zerdin, Nigel Havers and Rob Madge.

The panto will run from Saturday 5th December 2026 to Sunday 10th January 2027.
