Kate Garraway Shares Unforgettable Pantomime Cameo and Adil Ray Announces Exciting New Radio Gig
Kate Garraway has shared a “bucket list moment” she experienced during the festive season, revealing that she made a cameo appearance in the pantomime Robin Hood at the prestigious London Palladium. On Thursday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, Kate excitedly told viewers about her unforgettable experience.
“I’ve never done anything like this before, this is a bucket list moment,” Kate said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I got invited by The London Palladium no less, you know that amazing pantomime with Julian Clary in? I played the Palladium! I was King Richard, it wasn’t a huge role I have to say. But, they don’t tell the audience who is coming on as King Richard you see.”
Kate humorously shared her thoughts on the audience’s reaction when she took the stage: “So you have this awful feeling they’re really hoping it’s someone good!” ITV viewers were then shown a clip of her on-stage performance, where she had clearly made an impression, reports the Mirror.
Kate continued with a big smile, “I got a laugh! It was so amazing, just did two shows. I don’t know who is going to be on tonight but it’s always good.” Later in the show, her co-host Adil Ray teased that he hoped Kate would return for the entire pantomime season next year. Kate replied, “Only if somebody asks! I’d definitely say yes.”
Kate also shared that other famous stars, including David Walliams, James Corden, and Lee Mack, had previously played King Richard in the show. She added, with a smile, “Basically, they’ve got this great thing going on where they surprise the audience with different King Richard’s over the season, and they clearly most of them are men, funnily enough, so there were lots of jokes about crowned jewels!”, according to the Express.
The conversation then shifted to Adil’s new venture, as he revealed his excitement about taking over the airwaves on Smooth Radio as a guest presenter. After debuting on December 29, Adil will return for shows on January 4th and 5th. “I cannot wait to get back to the best job in the world! Radio!” he said. “And to be joining Smooth when they’re absolutely flying. I will now be singing along to the Smooth playlist not only in my car but in the studio too! I hope you’ll join me. Bring your dancing shoes!”
