Tointon, Swash sign up for same panto

Former EastEnders stars Kara Tointon and Joe Swash are to appear in panto together.

The real-life lovers, who played siblings Dawn Swann and Mickey Miller on the Walford soap, have landed roles as Snow White and Prince Charming at Bristol's Hippodrome theatre.

Tointon told The Sun: "It'll be strange to work together again but we're looking forward to it."

The couple started dating last year after growing close on the set of the BBC One programme. Both have since departed from the show.

Tointon recently complained that her EastEnders exit "wasn't very good".
