AFTER hitting national fame with BBC One's search for a Joseph, Any Dream Will Do actor Christopher Pym has landed a leading role.

Christopher, from Stockton Heath, will join singer Sonia, Miss British Isles Rebecca Lake, as well as Halton man Andrew Curphey in Cinderella at The Brindley theatre in Runcorn.

Christopher, who will take up the role of Prince Charming, played many parts while training in musical theatre at Guildford School of Acting.

He competed for a spot at Joseph School on the TV show and has gone on to work in professional theatre since then.

He said: "I am really happy to be back performing in Cheshire, surrounded by all my friends and family."

Cinderella will be running from December 17 until January 15 at the Halton Borough Council venue.

Tickets are priced at £20 for adults and £16 for children.
