Just noticed there isn't a Stevi Ritchie thread. Is anyone else who's going to the tour really looking forward to seeing him?

I never even noticed there's no Stevi thread

I enjoyed him more than some of the other contestants - his Bohemian Rhapsody week and the Phantom week. I can't see him as a recording artist though - he'll probably end up in stage productions and he'd be great in pantomime - kids would love him

I'm not going to the tour so will be watching YouTube clips

My friend met him up in London a couple of days ago, at the X Factor rehearsals. He chatted with her for ages. He is apparently a genuinely lovely guy

Jordan Productions and the Central Theatre are thrilled to announce that X-Factor sensation Stevi Ritchie will be joining the cast of this year’s family pantomime, Beauty and the Beast, in Chatham. Stevi joins Sue Holderness, best known for playing Marlene in Only Fools and Horses, who will be playing the wicked Malevolent!

Stevi will be playing the role of Potty Pierre, pot washer to the palace whose crazy antics will have Medway audiences rolling in the aisles and who knows, Stevi may even revive one of his X-Factor classics to get audiences dancing away!

Bigger, better and beastlier than any panto seen in Medway, Beauty and the Beast will not disappoint as once again Medway is promised live music, wonderful sets, beautiful costumes and rip-roaring adventure in true panto style!

Beauty and the Beast is at the Central Theatre, Chatham from
Thursday 10 December 2015– Sunday 3 January 2016.
