I'm A Celebrity winner Christopher Biggins has confirmed that he is planning to return to panto.
Biggins took a break from the theatre in favour of appearing on the ITV1 reality series, but he is now hoping to land a role in a production of Dick Whittington.
"When I made the decision to do ITV1's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, I was nervous about taking a break from panto. If it failed, I knew it could be disastrous for me, not least financially," Biggins wrote in an article for the Mail On Sunday. "But, thrillingly, the show was a great success and now I want to get back on stage.
"The first show I'd like to do is Dick Whittington - because of the rats. In fact, I'd like to write a scene where King Rat gets into bed with me, as happened in the jungle when a real rat jumped on to my hammock. I can't wait."
