Katie and Kerry have shared the first look at them in character ahead of their panto stintInstagramKatie starred in a production of Sleeping Beauty last yearInstagramKerry and Katie met 20 years ago in the I’m a Celeb jungleRex
In new snaps posted on social media the ladies – who met during I’m a Celebrity in 2004 – can be seen in character for the first time.
Katie told fans she’d bagged the role alongside Kerry earlier this year.
Revealing the news on her podcast, Katie said: “I’ve signed up to another panto! Cinderella!
“I’ve signed up for Cinderella and I’m one of the ugly sisters – and guess who is the ugly sister I’m doing it with – it’s Kerry Katona!”
Katie continued: “So Kerry got me the gig because she has been working with them for six years.
“And she was like ‘why don’t you come and do this panto’, and she said it was for the ugly sisters and I said ‘oh are we ugly then?’ and she said we can still be really pretty.”
Last year double bankrupt Katie landed a £60k payday for playing The Wicked Fairy Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty.
A video of her dancing out of time for the opening night, prompted critical comments from fans.
“Maybe, just maybe Katie Price could learn the routines. She was an absolute disgrace.
“Clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked .. very clear she thinks she can rock up making zero effort!!!” one wrote.
“lol you hardly had any words, did no rehearsing and bippo acted you off the stage. Good work you can’t sing or act – your family must be so embarrassed” another moaned.

A FORMER tennis star who dreamed of becoming the next Simona Halep is now a surgeon.
The 28-year-old impressed as a youngster but quit tennis at an early age.

Injuries were ever-present throughout her career so the former star was never able to live up to her potential.
Ioana Ducu quit the sport in 2017 after several shoulder injuries, one of which required a seven-hour operation.
Now Ducu is set to be on the other end of the knife as she is a resident surgeon at the Floreasca Emergency Clinical Hospital in Bucharest
The Romanian works the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology and reportedly aims to focus on arthroscopy and sports traumatology.
Ducu once wanted to follow in the footsteps of her compatriot Halep, who won two grand slam titles including Wimbledon.
But despite winning the junior French Open at Rolland Garros in 2014, she failed to adapt at senior level.
Ducu’s highest world ranking was 830 and she won only one tournament, the Doubles at ITF Sharm El Sheikh.
Speaking as a hopeful junior, Ducu said she wanted to emulate Halep’s success on court.
She said: “Simona Halep is my favourite athlete. I watch her every chance I get and try to steal as much as possible from her. I like her technique, we are similar in many ways.
“I hope that at some point I can also reach her performances. It takes a lot of work but I hope I will be able to go as far as possible.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA is on track to reach half a MILLION ticket sales ahead of his record-breaking next fight.
With four wins on the spin, there is hope Joshua, 34, is not only back to his best but maybe better than ever.
And he clearly has the British public back in belief again after the record 96,000 crowd was announced.
It means Joshua has shifted 488,000 tickets in his superstar career.
And he now has the chance to join an elite heavyweight club with Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield as three-time champ.
Joshua vs Dubois fight predictions
THIS weekend Wembley will witness one of the biggest all-British fights of all-time.
But who will emerge victorious under the famous arch? Some of the biggest names in boxing have been having their say…
Oleksandr Usyk: “My favourite is Anthony Joshua but I am very bad at predictions. But I will predict Anthony Joshua.”
Dillian Whyte: “I just think that it’s one of those fights where it is a genuine 50/50 fight in my opinion.”
Joe Joyce: “I was initially edging with Joshua but I don’t know, Dubois is coming on.”
Frazer Clarke: “As heavy-handed as Dubois is and as good a fighter as he’s becoming, I still have to go for Joshua.”
Francis Ngannou: “Even though Joshua lost against Usyk twice and Dubois fought Usyk and almost knocked him down and almost won, I would still give this to Joshua.”

6 hours agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Looking for a cheap autumn adventure? I’ve bagged a free family day out with National Trust – here’s how you can too
AUTUMN is here and with it comes an amazing offer to take the family to visit one of the UK’s incredible UK heritage sites for free.
I’ve just bagged a family day pass at a National Trust site, thanks to a little-known offer that often pops up at this time of year.

And it gets even better because my nearest National Trust estate, Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, is the perfect place to get in the Halloween spirit.
This is because it always decorates its darkest tunnels for the spooky season and also has an impressive pumpkin display in its garden.
If you’re looking for frightful fun for free, you can claim your family pass online, just by popping it in your basket on the National Trust website.
I’ve used the free passes before and it’s always a brilliant way to get a day out for next to nothing.
But you’ll need to be quick to claim as the free passes, which cover two adults and three children, won’t take long to be snapped up by other bargain hunters.
There are a few things you need to look out for if you want to use this offer.
First of all, there are some sites that are exempt, so you need to check the list of where you can’t use your pass before you set off with the car all loaded up with kids!
There are 200 houses, gardens and even castles included, so you should be able to find something not a million miles away to visit.
The National Trust only operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so if you’re in Scotland, you’ll have to head over the border to use your pass.
Some places also need you to book in advance and you can do this on the National Trust website by selecting the free member ticket option and use the code AUTUMN24.
Just make sure to have your day pass ready to scan when you arrive.
If you happen to miss out on the free online offer, there’s a cheeky little way you can sometimes get around it.
A lot of local newspapers often print a pass inside their pages around the same sort of time, so you can just buy a participating paper for a couple of quid instead.
Or you could ask your local library to save its copy of the local paper once it’s no longer being read and it’s gone on the recycling pile, so you get the pass that way.
The single-use pass covers a family of five, but obviously you can use it as a single adult or a couple as well.
It runs out on October 18, so it won’t be valid over the half-term holidays.
That being said, it’s worth checking out what your selected site is doing in the run-up to Halloween.
Because there may be events running over the weekends beforehand, so you might get some extra activities thrown in free if you time it right.
Last year, my favourite National Trust place to visit was Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, which was the perfect backdrop for bats, spiders, pumpkins and lots of spooky props.
It was definitely a top haunt for Halloween and one we’d return to next time we’re in that neck of the woods.
So if you fancy seeing what the National Trust has to offer near you, why not pick up a pass and head down to get your fix of fresh air, history and family fun?

What's it like to visit a National Trust site?
EARLIER this year, travel writer Hope Brotherton visited Birmingham’s Back to Backs after they were named the country’s number one hidden gem attraction. Here’s what she thought…
“Located on the corner of Hurst Street and Inge Street, the Back to Backs are hidden behind a wooden shop front that houses a tiny reception area where visitors check into their guided tour.
“My family and I were then led through to a brick courtyard where we were introduced to John, our informative and friendly tour guide.
“For the 90 minutes, John expertly guided our small group through two interconnected houses, which showcased what life would’ve looked like for working-class families in the 1860s and 1930s.
“Each of the eight rooms we explored were tiny, showing visitors just some of the cramped conditions families lived in 150 years ago.
“All of the rooms were decorated with everyday objects, including tins, scales and other artefacts from the past, with John pointing out the most interesting or relevant items, including an old tin of Bird’s Custard, which was produced in the city’s Custard Factory.
“According to our tour guide John, some of the former residents even worked in the Back to Backs with their tools on display, including the likes of a locksmith and a jeweller from the Jewellery Quarter.
“Birmingham Back to Backs also houses the only collection of work by a Caribbean tailor in the UK.
“George Saunders operated a successful tailor’s shop from the Back to Backs for many years, even leaving some of his items to the National Trust to preserve this last living link to the houses.
“At the end of the tour, we were led back to the brick courtyard where we were shown how the laundry rooms operated and given the chance to take photos.”
Meanwhile, these are the best UK attractions with free annual pass upgrades.
