Lee will make his panto debut as the eponymous Jack in QDOS Entertainment's 'Jack and the Beanstalk' at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre next Christmas.He will be part of an all-star line-up featuring Julian Clary as Spirit of the Beans and Nigel Havers as Fleshcreep, with Paul Zerdin (and Sam) making a special guest appearance as Simple Simon.
