Katie Price has been cast in a new pantomime amid her money woes.
The ex-glamour model, 46, recently played an Ugly Sister in a festive production of Cinderella alongside fellow showbiz legend Kerry Katona.
Now, she has been cast opposite former EastEnders star Bobby Davro in Pinocchio and will share the role of the fairy alongside former Casualty actress Amanda Henderson.
Producers wrote on Instagram: ‘We are delighted to announce that Katie Price and Casualty’s Amanda Henderson will be sharing the role of Fairy across the dates of this year’s Easter Panto tour.
‘They will join the previously announced casting of Bobby Davro as Stromboli plus Easter Panto favourites Ryan Greaves, Kate Salmon and Phyl Harries.’
It is thought that Katie could earn a five figure sum for the appearance, similar to her last stint in pantomime.

Katie – who did not attend the hearing – was also declared bankrupt last year over an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000, which remains in force.
She is set to be grilled in court over that bankruptcy on April 8.
