Britain’s Got Talent winner to play Dick Whittington in this year’s Pompey Panto

The Kings Theatre are delighted to announce that Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson is to play the title role of Dick Whittington in this year’s Pompey Panto.

George has an impressive performance career, from starring in Waterloo Road and Emmerdale to leading roles in West End shows and International tours, as well as winning the popular Britain’s Got Talent.

Originally wowing the audiences with his incredible dance skills on Britain’s Got Talent, George has gone on to forge a career as a respected triple-threat musical theatre performer and a successful and popular TV & Film actor, both in the UK and internationally. 

Seasoned panto star, George will play the title role of Dick Whittington this year at The Kings, Portsmouth, alongside previously announced Eastender’s actress Lorraine Stanley as Queen Rat, and Pompey Panto favourites Jack Edwards as Dame Dolly, Julia Worsley as Fairy Bow-Bells, Joe Rowntree as Silly Billy and Jacob Bailey in the role of The Cat. 

George Sampson, Actor:

I’m thrilled to announce my involvement in this year’s production of Dick Whittington! This will be my debut in this role and show, which brings a fresh and exciting challenge even after many years of performing in pantomimes.

I have fond memories of my brief stint in Portsmouth back in 2017 with Our House. Ever since, I’ve eagerly awaited the chance to return and perform on the stage of the stunning Kings Theatre. The stories I’ve heard about Portsmouth audiences and their love for the shows here are heartwarming, and I can’t wait to be part of that magic!

Audiences can look forward to an evening packed with laughter, impressive choreography, and unforgettable routines. It’s going to be a night of fun and entertainment for the whole family or group of friends. Get ready, Portsmouth—this is going to be a spectacular show!
