 Published on: 4th August 2025   |   By: Nik Allen   |   Category: Uncategorized

While it’s far too early to start thinking about Christmas for most people, Watersmeet recently unveiled the very special guest star of this year’s festive pantomime.

Starring in Rickmansworth’s 2025 panto, Beauty and the Beast, will be none other than Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards. Famous for becoming Great Britain’s first-ever Olympic ski jumper at the 1988 Winter Olympics, Eddie won hearts worldwide and became one of Britain’s most-loved athletes.

Millions of people were introduced to his story through the 2015 film Eddie the Eagle, in which Eddie was played by Rocketman star Taron Egerton.

Eddie will play Professor Crackpot in Beauty and the Beast, which will run at Watersmeet from December 5 to 31.

Also appearing will be panto veteran Ash Stevenson as the Beast, Performers College graduate Charlotte Rowney as Belle, Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Bunny Galore as the Dame, and The X Factor star Stevi Ritchie as Gaston.
