Katie Price and Kerry Katona are heading to panto land this Christmas to play the Wicked Step Sisters in a new production of Cinderella - 20 years after they last worked together

Katie Price and Kerry Katona are heading to panto land this Christmas to play the Wicked Step Sisters in a production of Cinderella.

The pantomime, which takes place in December at Northwich Memorial Court, Cheshire, will mark the first time the friends have worked together in 20 years.

Katie, 46, and Kerry, 44, made a joint appearance in entertainment in 2004 when they both went into the I'm A Cele b and became close friends - however they had a bitter, and public, fall out in 2007.

The pair have mended their friendship in recent years, with Kerry reportedly helping Katie bag the upcoming panto job amid her bankruptcy battle .

Sharing the exciting news of their upcoming performance, Kerry said the show will be 'one hell of a ride'.

First look pictures of the pair dressed up as the iconic characters showed Katie sporting a fluffy pink and black tiger print robe with a yellow feather lining, as well as a yellow and pink spotted dress.

Meanwhile in true panto fashion, Kerry's ensemble mirrored Katie's - but instead her robe was green and black and her dress purple and green.

'Can not wait for this Christmas for Panto!!' Kerry wrote on Instagram on Thursday as she revealed the promo shots.

'Me and finally working together for the first time since we were both in the jungle it's going to be one hell of a ride and so much fun. Get your tickets now.'

The panto company who are putting on the production, Anton Benson Productions, also shared the casting news.

They wrote: '. We are delighted to announce that KATIE PRICE and KERRY KATONA will headline this year's panto, Cinderella, at Northwich Memorial Court as the Wicked Step Sisters .

'This marks 20 years since the friends last worked together in 2004 on I'm a Celebrity.

'They will join previously announced cast members and MARY SHANKER.'

Fans of the two TV personalities were ecstatic at the announcement, as they share their desperation to get tickets.

Taking to the comment section on Instagram, they wrote: 'Omg i would love to see Kerry and Katie together this will be ace !! Xxxx

'I've never wanted to go to see a panto more in my life!!'; 'Your both going to be incredible,';

'This will be so good with these two ladies ,'; 'Ahh so good to see you together in something,';

'Go you two!!! Love this!!!!! ,'; 'They need there own show together !! Would be better than oprah or ellen.'

Kerry and Katie formed a tight bond and even asked each other to be a bridesmaid during two of their combined six weddings, after growing close on I'm A Celeb.

However, their friendship fell apart in 2007, after Katie called Kerry a 'druggie' and the pair embarked on a bitter and public war of words.

During their falling out, both women suffered plenty of drama and heartbreaks before finally managing to bury the hatchet, partly thanks to the bond between their children.

Things have turned a corner in recent years and their friendship got back on track, even ringing in the New Year together.

Then earlier this year, Kerry helped a bankrupt Katie bag the role in the upcoming Cinderella pantomime.

Cinderella will run from December 8 to December 31, with tickets available to buy now at brioentertainment.org.
