Katie Price and Kerry Katona are heading to pantomimeland this Christmas to play the wicked stepsisters in a production of Cinderella.
In the first photos of the couple dressed as the iconic characters, Katie was seen wearing a fluffy pink and black tiger print dress with a yellow feather lining, and a yellow and pink spotted dress.
In true pantomime style, Kerry’s outfit mirrored Katie’s, but her robe was green and black and her dress was purple and green.
The pantomime, which takes place at Northwich Memorial Court in Cheshire in December, is the first time the friends have worked together in 20 years.
Katie, 46, and Kerry, 44, first entered the entertainment world together in 2004 when they both joined I’m A Celeb and became good friends. However, in 2007 they had a bitter and public falling out.

During their feud, both women faced a lot of drama and heartbreak, before eventually managing to bury the hatchet, thanks in part to the bond between their children.

Earlier this year, Kerry helped bankrupt Katie get a role in the upcoming Cinderella pantomime.
Cinderella takes place from December 8th to December 31st. Tickets are on sale now at brioentertainment.org.
