Summary
- Scott Mills must avoid weight gain for his panto costume fitting.
- Pantomime costumes are fitted months in advance and cannot be altered.
- La Voix is also joining the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour next year.
Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills has revealed he will be abstaining from excessive sweet treats this Christmas season as he prepares for his pantomime return. Starring in 'Jack And The Beanstalk' in High Wycombe, Mills expressed concern about fitting into his costume, as performers are fitted months before the show, and adjustments are not feasible later.
Mills will play Mayor Mills alongside Strictly's La Voix and BGT finalist Matt Edwards. He highlighted the critical nature of costume fittings, explaining that outfits are finalized in May and cannot be altered, making careful eating habits essential throughout the festive period to avoid being unable to fit into his stage attire.
In separate news, La Voix, whose real name is Christopher Dennis, has secured a spot on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour for 2026, set to begin in January. This follows a previous injury that led to their withdrawal from the BBC competition. La Voix will also appear in the UK tour of the Annie musical.
