Scarlett Moffatt drops out of panto – as it’s revealed ticket prices have been slashed to just £5
SCARLETT Moffatt has sensationally dropped out of her scheduled panto performance.
We previously revealed that tickets for the adult panto were slashed to as low as a fiver.
Scarlett, 34, was due to star in a touring production of Snow White and The Seven Drag Queens from next week.
The former Gogglebox favourite was due to perform alongside the likes of Celebrity Big Brother Winner, David Potts.
Michael Marouli and Tomara Thomas from Ru Paul’s Drag Race were also set to join in on the festive fun.
However a source has told us that the former I’m A Celebrity winner will not take to the stage.
This is despite the fact that she still appears on all the marketing materials and production promotion.
Our mole revealed: “The panto team were told ages ago that Scarlett was unable to do the show anymore.
“She had a very minor medical procedure and has needed some recovery time, so didn’t even start rehearsals.
“No one knows why they are still promoting the panto using her name.”
Another insider added: “Production are lining up a replacement quickly and will break the news about Scarlett then.”
The Sun has approached Scarlett’s representatives for comment.
Tickets previously went on sale between £25 and £56 per ticket at venue box offices.
However the seat-filling website is quietly flogging them for much less as scores of seats are still available at different locations including Manchester and Brighton.
Punters could previously purchase up to 40 tickets per person for the show’s Clapham date in London.
